1. This is an example of what our multinational corporations really want.

In their pursuit of profit, the corporation seeks lower costs associated with emerging markets where our long-fought battles for wages, worker's rights, safety, environmental protections are essentially still in the formative state. Our capitalists argue we should not reward these gains to workers who don't have them and haven't fought for them, haven't earned them as our workers did.

Same theory holds on how unfair it would be to impede the emerging markets fossil-fuel industrialization America and Western Europe have already exploited at the expense of the world.

In both cases, life itself is secondary to profit, both for workers and apparently for the entire planet.
