I have to agree with Gael's interpretation of this issue. The constant seeking for the lowest cost producer has lead to the gigging economy, where the vast majority live with uncertainty, battered by ever-lower incomes, and fearful of the future, does not a robust economy make. While I realize that we can't go back to the 1950s, I do realize that what we are living through today, with a very few controlling huge amounts of wealth, with the vast majority (the 99%) lives in feR and uncertainty. Henry Ford had a reason to pay his workers $5 a day. If he didn't, few would be able to buy his cars. I think we need to adopt Ford's rationale, if we are to have any kind of reasonable future.
