And I'm not sure that cheap = fair value.
There is that. The Global Economy then exploits local market inefficiencies by paying less than fair value for labor.
$9,000 a year isn't going to make it. At least not an industrialized country. It's fine in Senegal.
I wonder what the number would have to be before people said, "Hey, this system doesn't make any sense."
But, of course, since value is defined by market forces you can't really say "it costs this much to make that thing" - because the cost is affected by supply/demand pressures.
I'm not sure if even superlow production costs mean anything since there's no impetus to over supply something and kill the market.
I guess it's the Star Trek economy. If somebody built a cheap replicator would it destroy capitalism?
Speaking of the fur-covered sort, it turns out my kids are on the Colbert tip when it comes to bears. We were in the redwoods last week and my son was worried the whole time that we'd run into one.
OMG, they're not just due date twins, our 2005 model children are matched in their bear fear!

Damn well better. I don't worship at the altar of Capitalism, like - apparently - everyone I've ever worked with, gone to school with, or am related to has done.
But then I live in a fantasy world where people are nice, honest, and helpful.
Germany gave Usain Bolt 2.7 tons of the Berlin Wall. That's just weird. Where do you put that?
Next to his 2.6 tons of the Great Wall of China?
That won't fit in checked baggage even.
And imagine going through Customs with that shit.

Coral reef rebuilding? I dunno. That is...different.
I bet they just can't get rid of remnants of the Berlin Wall, so they just give it away with any excuse.
"So, you sold the third most Girl Scout cookies in your troop? Have a ton of wall!"

Yeah. It's not something that usually comes up in Los Angeles. Arcata was another matter.
