And that isn't going to last, take advantage of it while you can, America.
You can build domestic industry and jobs without this dumb shit. It's just going to reduce the purchasing power.

Sort of like... prison
I mean, in a sense yes. That's why wages in prison can be so cheap, because all other costs are already internalised so you only have to pay prisoners next to nothing and they won't just keel over and die. Obviously there's the explicit force present in the guards that also compels them to work, so wages outside literal prison would have to be higher unless you assign like prison guards to every worker lol.
