My Wife Asked If I Watched On CNN Them Talking About Corporate America Supporting China's Atrocities

[DanieRains]

I guess according to her, in search of lower prices for their goods, American Corporations look the other way when it comes to what Red China does to it's own people.

Whoda Thunkit?

[DanieRains]

1. I Told Her There Is No Such Thing As Corporations - It Is Stock Holders And Hedge Funds

That own, and run the "corporations" for the benefit of wealthy.

She said like her, because she has a retirement fund.

I said her drop in the ocean doesn't matter all that much.

It is all about "returns" for asset owners, and stock holders, and the corporation is simply the firewall.

2. It isn't only corporations the American people know where their Walmart goods are coming from

They don't care as long as they get their crap for less.

[Ferrets are Cool]

3. I hate that line of thinking

You think "most" of America has a choice of where they shop? No, they don't. They shop where they can afford a pair of shoes or some macaroni to put on the table.

10. At one time we did still have a choice .. Now? Not so much.

Instead of America supporting American workers "we" decided to vilify unions as the source of all evil.

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. This, I will agree with 100%

[iemanja]

4. So do American consumers.

Remember the thread where people criticized someone for paying $230 for American made, union jeans. Many talked about buying $30 jeans. Those are made in China or somewhere worse.

5. Pepperidge farms remembers

And so do i

[jimfields33]

7. Yeah that was a very sad thread.

[jimfields33]

6. Well the country itself has borrowed money from them for decades.

The entire system is guilty.

[KentuckyWoman]

8. Who buys it?

If people had refused to buy it and demanded made in America then corporations would not have made the switch.

[pecosbob]

9. Yes, the corporate world pretty much rolls over for the CCP

just like it does for authoritarian regimes all over the world. Corporations aren't people...they enjoy the rights of people yet they don't bear the attendant responsibilities of being human.

[malaise]

11. Well to be perfectly honest

They have long supported US atrocities.

[Klaralven]

12. Chinese GDP per capita was $311 in '89, the year of Tiananmen Square; it's $10,500 now

This Chinese people are doing well compared with where they've been.
