Are people like FreeYourself complaining about how bad of conditions greedy corporations are making people live in, or that they're taking away from American jobs that the employers would have to pay decent wages for, and keep the consumer's money in the American economy?
The entertaiing double edged sword that is globalisation i'm glad is finally biting america on the arse, thousands of out of work coders replaced by cut-rate coders in India and the like...

I think the conditions for these people might be better working in sweatshops than outside. Definitely underpaid and possibly unsanitary, but you're comparing it to our conditions rather than local conditions.
Having visited both Nike nad Adidas Factories in Vietnam i can tell you a: Nike is far worse, b: Even by lcoal conditions, it sucks.
