47. You know what they expect: cheap labor, cheap labor, cheap labor....

When you've got a ton of poor people with too many mouths to feed, they will work any number of hours, under any conditions, for any wages. And they'll buy any cheap product you put out, never caring if it's safe or good.

Are they batshit insane or clever like foxes? I'd say they think they're clever...but in the long run (and they never look that far ahead), they are batshit insane, because such desperate situations invariably lead to revolutions where the 1% end up executed. Someone should point out China and Mao Tse Tong to Paul. Lots of poor, hungry people = lots of people marching on those who made them poor and hungry.
