>30 bucks in say mexico is maybe a couple days worth of groceries, excluding the major cities.
Yeah, but imagine how far $100 can go. That's what annoys me; it's a race to the bottom for them, to the point where even they will not be able to live with how shitty and low they're making their prices.
If a first worlder charges $1000, you should charge $700, if you wish to undercut them, and slowly raise your prices to the $1000 when you gain dedicated clientele.
But so many third worlders seem to display why they're country is still in that state, by never asking for anything more.
They ruin the market for themselves and everyone else.
And the thing that we need to remember is that this is a part of our culture. Americans (and all other firsties) should be making their own art, and yes that includes commercial art.
Ultimately the biggest problem isn't the thirdies though, it's the shit head shit heels that are the dickheads to hire people from off shore just to save a few bucks - people will say 'heh, that's capitalism', but capitalism doesn't decree that you need to throw your fellow countrymen under the bus to make a few extra bucks.
Being Capitalist =/= having no morals.
But I just have to accept that businesses will do this, because the moronic public are totally willing to buy from companies that outsourced to china or elsewhere, despite complaining about it. If you actually care, don't buy from these companies - oh, but you got to save a dollar or two, so I guess the destruction of local manufacturing was worth it, get fucked you mouth breathing sheep.
Anyway, I'm totally going off topic here.
