That’s a pretty skewed perspective. First, while China isn’t a democracy, it's not a "brutal communist dictatorship". It’s more accurately described as a one-party authoritarian state with a predominantly capitalist economy.
Second, the people "in tents on the sidewalks with their lives numbed by drugs" are not there because they can't find a job at an Apple factory, not even close.
Third, even if we go with the "China is evil, we have to help people out of poverty" narrative, what's wrong with India? It is a democracy and has a much greater poverty problem than the US.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what we're dealing with. Zero. Critical. Thought. This is the same kind of brainwashed lie that I keep seeing from Trump supporters everywhere. There seems to be absolutely zero self awareness, as if the very things they're saying don't actually enter into their consciousness for any kind of logical analysis. This guy has zero idea how idiotic what he just said is. He will go on to believe that all the downvotes are from those with "Trump Derangement Syndrome".
Tell me, if the American workforce is living in tents and addled with drugs, give me some numbers. How many? And you think that we are going to do what? Make the homeless work in the iPhone factories? Is that what you're suggesting?
