Any good ferenghi will tell you you make as much profit as you can as quickly as you can. that's what outsourcing to 3rd world countries is all about. Why do you think all companies take this route if it isn't in their interest? Yes slavery is an extreme example... but that's what business wants... it's only people interested in fairness who force capitalists to be reasonable, as in this case. No way would Nestle or Cadbury have budged if lobbying didn't hurt their profits. Slaves are paid.(April 14, 2010 at 3:31 am)fr0d0 Wrote: An example of Capitalisms evil is the slave trade where children are stolen and sold to work on sugar cane farms with 18" machetes and razor sharp plants to deal with who subsequently suffer cuts, amputations and death with not much human comfort let alone schooling. This happens to fuel higher profits.A pathetic attempt at an argument fr0d0...I'd usually expect better from you. Capitalism involves paying workers for the work they do in accordance to the value of the work they do. Slavery is the very antithesis of Capitalism.
