When the Barbie movie was being shoved down our throats, I decided to look up where they manufactured the doll. Well, it's never been manufactured in the U.S., I learned. Because Mattel outsourced the manufacturing to a few Asian countries, where they would save on labor costs. Even when the doll became a big hit and was selling like wildfire, however, they never brought the labor back to the U.S.. I suspect because greed was too powerful a force for them to resist. I have the understanding now that the exploitation of cheap, child labor has been an ongoing reality for much longer than we realize today. Meaning, it's been no secret between governments, corporations, and others involved in the exploitation. But socialist China's dictatorship, like many politicians these days, just keeps on lying about it to cover their tracks.

If you think inequality was bad before COVID, wait until AI replaces 40% of middle class jobs. The ultra-wealthy own the companies, the servers, the algorithms. Everyone else? Disposable labor. The separation is just beginning.
