Default What *is* it with those wacky Chinese?

Okay, I haven't been jumping on the China-bashing that seems to be so
popular here, but wouldn't it be less expensive to make toys that DIDN'T
contain drugs?

It would be cheaper to say, not poison an entire ecosystem and pay the
damages from the class action lawsuit. Recalling a million pounds of meat
and paying the damages is way more expensive than the disinfectant that they
didn't have to buy but they'd rather take the chance. But you have to
appreciate that the "capitalist" mindset is a criminal one. At very least
it is more like the mind of a gambling addict. But they gamble with the
lives of innocent people. They hate rules, they value profit over
everything and they simply get so arrogant they never think they will get
caught. No criminal in prison is guilty of anything except getting caught
an this is especially true of the white collar criminal. It is a little
known fact that the curriculums of a great many B schools include classes on
how to beat the system, how to get around the rules and regulations and how
to play dumb if caught.
