It's greed that sends factories to china, not cooperation.
They were there before the lockdown, his wife is from there, he runs a business there. Should they make the non-essential trip back to their main residence? It's not black and white.Not within their rights legally or morally to write passive aggressive signs telling people to follow government advice and stop putting their community at risk? Give over. “Acting like a mob”how precious.
That change if ridiculously high tariffs are imposed through the EU & US markets. The economy in Europe and the US will shrink substantially after this mess. Covid-19 will be one hell of an excuse to bring business back.
There were millions of black and brown people who fought with the allies in WW2. Racists will always be ignorant so I doubt your hope will be realised.
Too late for India. India just don't have the manufacturing base to do it, the working population itself is services focused & are most importantly already a bit too expensive. I work for a manufacturing company, and India are competing for our engineering work - not the actual manufacturing.
Daily wage labourers in India are huge in numbers. I don't even think their working conditions are that much better than what workers get in a FoxConn facility in China. There is a definitely enough workforce to aid manufacturing units in India. Most consultants have hypothesised that companies will now want to diversify their sourcing units across south east Asia but that was before the pandemic spread to outside China. Wonder if that will still happen. But in any case, I don't see any such investment in manufacturing sector by foreign entities as propelling us towards any mythical super power status.
nah, rubbish.
The only thing stopping jobs from flowing out of the US is the US' greed itself.
Not being precious at all.Not within their rights legally or morally to write passive aggressive signs telling people to follow government advice and stop putting their community at risk? Give over. “Acting like a mob”
I tend to agree.
I think was the lack of regulation that sent factories there, personally. North America and Europe were toxically polluted in the 1980s. Within 10 years we had cleaned it all up. The only plausible explanation is that we moved all of that industry to other jurisdictions.
Greed by giant business owners? Yes, of course. That's the entire point of globalisation. To be able to produce cheaper while keeping selling it at the same high prices in the wealthier nations. Don't think it's generally the commoners greed, though.
In fact, it got even worse due to shipping that produced even more emmissions. Proper and reasonable regulations on emission and pollution would've been perfectly fine. If history has shown anything then that humans can create great progress when they have to.
Globally, yes it's certainly debateable but locally, no. North American and Europe are much cleaner than they were in the 80s and early 90s. This isn't just a question of emissions but also of things like water and soil.
Collective greed. Selfish workers that unionized and demands an untenable working conditions. Selfish customers that doesnt want to fork more money for the same goods made in america. My parents used to make their living making exports to US, trust me they want human rights etc but offers the price of a slave labor. Greedy owners who doesnt want to fork extra to make their business pollute less, clean industry is expensive. Government selfish because they want cheap product made in china while they can sit on their wall street controlling funds.
This is a pretty good example of whataboutism.
It's not wrong though is it. We also need to massively up our game wrt animal welfare.
Sure, we do. That doesn’t excuse China for fecking up on this case too.
If the government don't extent the 80% of wages contribution beyond the end of May, and a lot of business don't pick up, then without doubt - as a best case scenario!

Understandably so. The point of why many people were pro EU is to have them help when necessary and for nation's to help each other. Italians most likely feel left alone with all this (while ironically Russia did help them). The EU failed miserably at providing help, direction and stability amidst this situation.

It's not hard to join the dots? Demand for animal products is what drives the industry and its associated cruelty.

Is killing the middle class beneficial to the super rich who need the middle class to buy their goods and products?
Depends how you define middle class. I meant that you class that has the ability to own business and start heading to be rich will be cut off. So basically all business owned by the few and everyone else working for them and controlled by them and still buying stuff but paycheck to paycheck and via insurmountable debt. Basically everyone working class.
Workers demanding fair pay and good working conditions isn’t greed, neither is consumers wanting to see their cash go as as far as it can
You're absolutely right. And in normal times, when we're talking more than health risks, none of them can operate without the guys that keep the underground going, the bus drivers, the people that mend the holes in the road and go down the sewers, the traffic wardens and the clerks. Key workers shouldn't be a term just for the educated and better paid. Note to self, must get more left-wing again.
Last sentence is relatable!Can i ask why you have asked your employees to take a pay cut? Havent you furloughed them
They get more money if they take a pay cut. The maximum of £2,500.00 under the Furlough system is less than if they get a pay cut. We are a construction company and some sites remain open. Some have been furloughed but we need to have teams working.
I have a lot of sympathy for you, most people that are employees and not employers have no idea how the current situation is affecting most small or medium-sized businesses.
