    Yeah but how is that not China’s fault too? Americans buy cheap products from there because China pays their employees pennies.

      From what I understand their minimum wages aren’t bad, it’s the enforcement that sucks. Everyone buys from them because labor laws are overlooked, but if they weren’t - there’s a risk manufacturing would move away and shrink. Bit of an ouroboros. I’d say both parties are to blame, but the paying one gets more of it.

      Imagine there’s like a super rich country where everybody gets paid at least 10x what you do. And they order crap from the company you work at.

      It’s just the way it is in the world. A new gpu costs the same in my country, but median pay is like 2-4x less. So basically imagine if a new gpu costs 3000$ instead of 1k. Obligatory nvidia f you.
