    Hard to compete when the government heavily subsidizes the local industry while simultaneously making it very difficult for foreign companies to operate.

      That’s every country at this point.

      But only 1 of them is exploiting slave labor to achieve this.

            Have you read the 13th amendment? Prisoners in the US are legally allowed to be used for slave labor. That’s what I thought you were referencing

                Hard to say for certain, per a recent AP report, privacy laws protect the info of which private companies specifically are using prison labor at any given time in several states.

                Seriously though, check out that article. Wild.

                  Okay so you intentionally derailed the conversation in an attempt to prove you were right about a subject no one was discussing?
