I hate to respond to posts that say, "could you tell me where I said that?", and as a rule, I don't. I definitely don't do it for people I don't like, but I like you, so I will point out for you where you made what appears to be a mistake in your argument, as you don't seem to have meant what you said. You didn't say multinational corporations "were the only hindrance to development", but what you said is grammatically tantamount to it. You said "the reason" (your words) that countries don't develop with protection "for workers, fair wages, abolishment of child labor, universal education, and environmental protections" is "pure greed by huge multinational corporations to make maximum profit with no consideration at all of human rights". You didn't say "one reason", or "the main reason" or even "a reason," you said "the reason." "The reason" is one reason. One reason is an only reason. If you mean "a reason" or "the main reason" then it's probably safer to use a different phrase. At least it's easier on the readers, who assume you meant what you said.
>>>>>the fact is that countries COULD develop with protections for workers, fair wages, abolishment of child labor, universal education, and environmental protections. The reason they are not right now is not because it is impossible, but because pure greed by huge multinational corporations to make maximum profit with no consideration at all of human rights, etc. is the governing force at play.<<<<< |
