  Re: Massive Layoffs At Lego (in Enfield, CT)

If all this new work resulted in standards of living increasing in the countries the jobs were farmed out to - wouldn't the wages then have to rise to compensate?

The difference, of course, is that the facade of brand-purism would be torn down, and fans would finally have to determine whether they're purists because it's LEGO or because it's made in Enfield. There may be a legitimate issue of quality (...) (18 years ago, 23-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

  Re: 2nd Joe Vig contest entry - How Joe learned to stop worrying and love the bomb
 
Hey all, I'm confused as to the "debate" here. This seems a perfect example of community.
