Chinese Wager Torture

There's been some commentary out there lately about the potential for the return of manufacturing jobs to the U.S. after decades of companies taking their work to China to be made poorly by abused children. Ahh, capitalism. I have seen now, firsthand, what is going on, and it is clear to any rational individual. Except, of course, business owners. It isn't high pay or unions keeping production jobs from United States citizens. It's fucking stupid, greedy, clueless owners of manufacturing companies. They won't bring the jobs back because, well, they are STUPID and MEAN and VENAL.

I have, in my new job, a good view of what is happening with work outsourced to Chinese factories. And how there is no one to blame but pigheaded, greedy American owners. And how that it is biting them in the ass, but their heads are so far up their asses, they can't see it and do the right thing. The jobs are only gonna come back in cases where rational, coherent owners can do simple math and see that they may be getting the work done at half the price, but the low quality and complications are destroying their brands and driving customers away. And it keeps getting more expensive to produce in China. And I know why. It's called Capitalism. The Chinese factories used the money of the American businessmen seeking cheap goods to build their factories and upgrade their equipment and learn the trades and meet the vendors. Now they want more money for their product, and now they don't need American Business Money to stay afloat. We have gone to the back of the line; we get the lowest quality and the poorest product.

How is it that I understand Capitalism and 9 out of 10 business owners do NOT?? 

The distributor I work for whines day and night about the low quality of the product and the terrible mistakes in production. WELL. Your product is being made by people working 24 hour shifts for 35¢ an hour. You have NO RIGHT to ask for a quality product. You are foolish to expect it. If you are still trying to drive prices down cheaper and cheaper, why should the factories create a quality product? You don't deserve it. And you get what you pay for. Capitalism 101.

A handful of businessmen recognize that the "savings" of producing crap in a foreign land under slave labor conditions do not balance the loss of quality, which leads to a loss of sales, which leads to a loss of income. AND A LOSS OF SOUL.
