But working at a big box retailer is very different from working in a nail salon. At least places like Walmart pretend to obey the wage and hours laws. Maybe it's just the apparent willful disregard of those laws by the salon owners (as described in the article) that got to me. And the fact that, even when the workers win, they never collect. Anyway, Earnest Not Bob will try to get off of the topic.

I have no energy to post about the truth here, it would take paragraphs because of the level of ignorance on this board. The main point of ignorance being the image that the people going in for cheap manis are wall street bankers. it is the poor shopping at the places fucking the poor that cause the issue. Once the poor decided to buy stuff not made by US paid labor then the rest became inevitable. And it all started when Pa steel workers and Cali electronics workers decided they should buy Asian made cars. Once others bought Asian steel it was suddenly an issue; Where can I buy an American made TV?
I won't engage again, unless someone here posts something more than kumbayah.
