Makes no sense to me. Are you saying a doctor who smokes is not a good doctor ?

American workers should realize that they are competing with Chinese workers who will give life and limb to work in the environment that Tesla is providing them. They should either compete or let the Chinese do the work for 1/10th of the cost instead of whining about not getting diet soda in vending machines.

And the Chinese worker should feel lucky his job isn't shipped to Vietnam!...

And the Vietnamese worker should feel lucky his job isn't shipped to Bangladesh!...

And the Bangladeshi adult worker should feel lucky his job isn't given to Bangladeshi 9-year-olds!...

Seriously, you are right that if wages go too high and it's convenient for the company, they will take production elsewhere. That's not an argument for workers shutting up and taking scraps; it's an argument for a global minimum wage.

They are realizing this - which is why they elected Donald Trump and his protectionist rhetoric.

"Let them eat cake."

People are working forced overtime and cannot afford to pay for their housing. Critics like you are just polluting the discourse with these type of dismissive phrases.

This is not an effective way to advocate your point of view.
