The reality of the matter is that the sweatshops are necessary - 100% necessary. The only reason we don't have them here anymore is because we outsourced them due to things like evironmental and safety regulations and unions driving up the price of labor (not some magical capitalism fairy). The third-world doesn't have anywhere else to outsource them to, so they're stuck with it forever.

How did environmental/safety regulations and unions have the power to do anything, though? What reason would ANY factory have to open with a population of people unwilling to work at correct market prices? Also, why did those countries gain their middle class before such things existed?

Why do I even bother?
APPEAL TO TIME PERIOD

APPEAL TO ABSURDITY

CITATION NEEDED

You fancy sexy time at the Time Cube Cabaret.

Correct market prices REQUIRE TWO TO TANGO. If one or both parties refuse a price, then IT'S NOT THE CORRECT MARKET PRICE.

Assuming price is the only bargaining chip is corporatist fail.

Too bad that a sweatshop worker working at a sweatshop, by default, accepts the price of his own labour. If sweatshops are evil because one/both parties refuse a price, then they cannot work because the workers would refuse to work there or the sweatshops wouldn't employ them, meaning that the problem of sweatshops would solve itself, but if the workers accept it then they are accepting the given price/wage therefore it is a correct market price making it is clearly disadvantageous for the workers to have their workplace removed. QED

Ignoring all other forces at work. Fail

Not taking into account that the sweatshop worker is not within a lightyear of a level playing field with the sweatshop owner. Fail x2

Your right. A sweatshop worker is not within a light year of a level playing field with a sweatshop owner. Thanks for acknowledging one of the points I was trying to make

Now: That being the case, explain how a sweatshop worker, being a light year away from having the power of a sweatshop owner, is going to FORCE that owner to improve working standards. Explain how, if the sweatshop owner decides to leave because of this, this worker is going to get a better deal. If the worker could get a better deal, then why does he not already start with it?!

I guess I am not entitled to any attempt at a response, seeing as how you don't have one. The only thing you seem to be capable of is taking a couple of out-of-context shots and then running away until you get to try again.
