True. More importantly it is better to criticize people on the other side of the planet than it is right here in the USA. After all you are protected by miles of ocean and air space.Obviously nobody is interested in a report that says:
In todays news all factories in China were running smoothly.
Actually I'm not concerned myself about minimum wage earners as so many of them simply don't have the mental capacity to hold down jobs that require extra effort. As far as health insurance goes there are serious issues with the way we are doing things now that universal coverage will only make worst. But that is another discussion.Nobody is out of a job and every worker met his/her quota, is health insured (Hello America!!) has a safe retirement fund (Hello America!) gets paid more than minimum wage (Hello America!)
Which our fine government declared taxable income. I work for a company that actually did fairly well with "employee appreciation" and the like for years and then the government declared such things taxable income. So what was once a $50 gift card for thanksgiving is now half that and any thought of a reward for a good quarter is more of an accounting headache than it is worth. Our fine government and the desire to tax everything has had as much of a negative impact on the American worker as the bad management of those workers practiced in many places.Plus, they now all get colored screwdrivers for employee appreciation.
In short, until people become educated and look further than their apartment door, they will fall for sensationalist reporting all the time.
(And get bored with a subject after 3 days of over reporting)
The media in the USA has become adept at manipulating the public to push a liberal socialist agenda. Frankly it seems to be the only thing they care about, it doesn't matter if honesty or a grasp of the situation being discussed is practiced; if the underlying agenda can be advanced then they are happy.
