Things are not cheap enough. Cheaper is better. The less we have to work to buy something, the better. Barriers to production have fallen as economies have opened. New Zealand used to be a financial prison [until 1984 when deregulation started]. Trade and open economies are good. The only famines these days are due to civil wars with deliberate starvation by criminal thugs who steal food aid. That's despite 6 billion people instead of 1 billion not so long ago. Good riddance to the greedy unions and "protected" jobs which are simply an enslavement of local buyers of the products. It's unethical to "Protect" the job of some lazy, greedy, overpaid slob when somebody will work for much less in some other country. Jobs do not belong to the person who works. The customer owns the jobs and THEY allocate their money to their preferred supplier [unless they are held hostage by some criminal class = unions backing politicians who use police and laws to confiscate the "customer's" money]. Charity is no answer for poor people. Honest employment in a free world is the ethical approach. They'll be better off than begging for help from [relatively] rich people. Mqurice
