Maybe it's not human health but corporate profits that are really being protected.

Oh. Ya think so?

This video of Chinese workers in a press is supposed to show us how badly humans are treated in China factories.
What it really shows us is that Chinese managers at least have some idea of the value of human labor, unlike America, where people aren't 'defect-free' enough to perform any useful function except purchasing junk that doesn't work. Every manager in this country seeks new ways to eliminate the 'costs' of labor. Americans aren't even good enough (in corporate eyes) to be able to collect their own paychecks anymore: money has to be deposited automatically for us. Can you imagine any 'modern' executive or politician owned by them to believe that the best way to grow food is to actually have PEEEEEPUL getting their hands in it and possibly doing it wrong or not at maximum profit?
