Getting a human to assemble something is usually more expensive then getting a robot to do it. Provided that the human gets paid, that is. (lemmy.world)

America was founded on slavery and that established a certain quaility and way of life. When slavery was abolished many people wanted to keep the lifestyle that was built on the backs of slaves but without relying on slaves (cheap sugar and foriegn produce for example). Eventually corporations figured out that most people won't care so long as the slavery is out of sight, out of mind, by being done in another country.
