Outsourcing happens when it is cheaper to build something somewhere else. Tariffs can compensate for that. Where are the starving people in capitalist countries? The US health care system is pretty much run by the government. It is not a result of free markets. A large part of profit maximization (i.e. optimizing) usually means reducing the amount of material needed. Isn't that a good thing? The people who "rough it" in the wilderness still seem to be backpacking in hi tech equipment. I read about the kit that Lewis & Clark carried. No thanks. (Even on that "Alone" show, they bring hi tech equipment.) |

> Where are the starving people in capitalist countries?
The first example from the top of my head is Argentina.

This very much depends on the industry. In software, for instance, it's exactly the opposite.

No idea what you're talking about.
