I like how the reporter sped through the line, "but it's better than the alternatives."

 

To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process.
Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!"
Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."

His closing quote in the video: "You can line up to be the country that produces this stuff, or you can be the country that buys it but it's impossible to be both."

WTF?

There's really no reason to defend shitty situations like Foxconn. This is not in an open market, Foxconn is a state supported monopoly, in an exchange controlled mercantilist system. There is no noble defense of capitalism here.

I didn't say there was. I was just pointing out an article about a topic that had become relevant recently.
