You're missing my point on purpose.

I am trying to say there is a contradiction in what you are saying. You claim to want companies to move into impoverished areas, but also say doing that is evil. No company has ever moved into an impoverished area to help people, they have always done so out of self interest.

So which do you want, companies to move into impoverished areas (acting evil), or not (acting good, according to you).




I want strong labor protection laws everywhere, so that poor regions don't have to compete on allowing companies to exploit the local workforce.


You've completely changed the direction of the argument.


Like a $15 minimum wage? The one Amazon is paying?


And paying for time spent in security checkpoints, and not counting "walking from workstation to break room" as break time, and compensation for workplace injuries.
