The problem with lower computer prices.....

We get lower prices by a few dollars and the workers that build them get to work in sweatshops just like the clothing workers in central America.

I think that a lot of American prosperity is built on the enslavement of other nations. This is part of the problem of hatred of America in third world counties.

There are a lot of causes of world poverty, and this is just part of picture. I would feel better about the matter if CPQ (and other companies) made some effort to see that their sub-contractors treated their workers well.

Having the best house in a burned out neighborhood is not the objective.
