market forces
Yeah, lost to the China labor market, where people endure subhuman conditions, with nepotism, corruption, no environmental standards... Combined with a government that artifically pegs their currency low to strip jobs form the west....
Or India, which greatly subsidizes or nepotistically favors start-up companies that take jobs from the west.
Ir Indonesia, where children manufacture the jogging shoes that used to be made by american blue collar labour.
Yah. Market forces. About as mythical as what you claim the spotted owl to be.
Just because the bullshit and government intervention is done under the carpet and out of your sight doesn't mean that its a fair global market.
