She can imagine them when they whisper to her on the bus about gentrification. She can imagine them needing our benevolent factories so they can pick cotton in africa since it is no longer wise to suggest they pick cotton in mississippi.<br /><br />She is suggesting with a straight face that people eking out a living in bangladesh can go to hell when their livelihood moves to africa - just so she can continue to by $2 t-shirts. She does so because she knows her brand of ass-kissing american wealthy can never be outsourced so her own livelihood is never at risk.<br /><br />She is pure evil.cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988314910210445114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-26906969458353388612015-07-12T09:47:58.703-05:002015-07-12T09:47:58.703-05:00Cynic, McArdle can't imagine that any Africans...Cynic, McArdle can't imagine that any Africans (from tribe to city dweller) would not be better off working in a sweatshop for dimes a day.
