Card, I appreciate your clarification. I rather agree with statments of other forum members, ie: though some jobs/pay/benefits may seem terrible to us, to some of the dirt poor it could be the best job they ever had. Regarding the part of Gort's post you highlighted: "employs slave labor, provides wretched working conditions and pays zilch to its workers": I'm not really disagreeing with you, but the latter two are somewhat subjective. "Slave labor" for the most part is not, however. (ps: why is it that, after I cut and paste something in red, the rest of my post turns red also? Can't seem to get the red out!)
