well its a fucked up system...i could give u many examples of all the big corporates making extraordinary cash and profit from making their products in asia and selling them for more than 100 times the manufacturing cost in america. Example .. GAP, NIKE, .... then u got that company called DEBEERS , they are in diamonds trades...nobody really knows what goes around in the background of their shit,i hear they are into slave trading, importing all the diamonds from african nations and just robbing them. They fukin pay these african dictators so much cash in exchange for diamonds adn they are vampires.

you have no idea what you are talking about
debeers is a cartell.....i'm asumming you have no idea what that is judging from your post. Cartell companies are illegal in the US, the debeers company is not an american company.
but yeah i agree to an extent with your post...i fucking HATE the fact all these companies are sending all these manufacturing jobs oversees to asia, mexico, africa. the only people who benefit from this is the coperation. the quality of the product is lower, the price remains the same so the consumer gets no price break, and the companies exploit lower rates oversees. this fucks over jobs in america! Fuck levi's for closing the last 2 plants just before christmas and sending jobs over to china.....fuck that i'll never where levis.

Looks like Asia needs to get on the ball about taking care of their people instead of letting companies exploit them
Say i'm Nike. Why the fuck would I keep a plant in the US and pay someone 5.25 an hour plus adhere to all the workers compensation and other stuff we have here when I could make a plant in China and pay a worker ther .75 an hour and no benefits? What's stopping them? Is their government doing anything about? Maybe they should step up to the plate and protect their citizens.
So what if they can make a shoe for a dollar and sell it for $100? Supply/Demand. They make it, we want it. We'll pay $150 for the new LeBron James Nikes that cost 2 bucks to make.
