MonkeyF0cker Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Between both documentaries, the Chinese factory worker lifestyle is abysmal at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 I watched this movie about a month ago,thought it gave an unbiased opinion Looks like China runs their businesses more like a cult and have their workers fooled and were surprised when they couldn’t treat the Americans the same wayDayton was foolish to give a billionaire a tax break,his ultimate goal is to automate that plant and have as few workers as possible If an Forgeiner opens a business in China there are no tax breaks and they are more than likely gonna have to pay off government officials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyF0cker Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Our government subsidizes all kinds of large businesses while letting the small business fend for themselves. From Google to Amazon to NFL stadiums. Impossible for the small business to compete with them. Even worse when it's a foreign entity. It needs to end.

Yeah, but if the foreign business opens a Transgender bathroom and virtue signals on twitter about various social issues, then it is perfectly OKAY for all of this stuff. hahahaha.

Dingo Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Funniest part of the show was when the Mandarin speaking American came back from China and tried to give the same kind of pep talk to the American workers as the Chinese company did to their workersThat showed the big difference in the culturesChinese people are indoctrinated early and often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDoberman Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Finished it other night. Thought it was interesting that they showed only the black workers when they were talking about unionizing. They pounded the message that the Chinese were hard workers and the Americans were lazy endlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does make me wonder why we allow so much foreign investment, especially when they do not particularly care for us anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeybagadonuts Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Not an Economic issue. Could've given that same deal to an American company.Of course it is. Do you think the factory would have sat empty for so long if an American company wanted it? I did laugh at the “they don’t even really care for us” As if that has any baring on where you should take investment from. You take the best deal for the most money.

Stuff like this movie can help sway public sentiment from having local officials being so generous to foreign investors. Granted, may take a little longer to get an American company. But still...bigger picture. And it is a bit surprising how this was shown in an American First type climate when its producers are obviously more pro globalism. So my query stands in being curious if it made him defensive or nah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybagadonuts Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 The factory wasn’t in use for 10 years. How much longer should the owners have let it sit empty waiting for an American company to fly in and save the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machiavelli Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Fair point, but look at Dingo post above about how China likely treats American companies. Perhaps our method is why we are still top economy, but again, can still shift sentiment. I do think one could also watch this movie and think maybe it's not so bad especially since people were given a chance to vote for a union and do not have to work there. But still, fair to question if people watching are a bit defensive towards China, a billionaire owner or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple free market economics A business decided it made sense to open in that location. The owner of the factory decided the price said business was willing to pay was fair. The workers choose to work there. Don’t care if it’s a Russian/ African / Chinese or American company. Money is all green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line, get a marketable skill or work for The Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
