I see the point that something has to be done to bring costs down, but I just don’t agree the idea of sweatshops period. I will admit I do buy products that were probably made in a sweatshop, but it is just the way it is…almost everything is made in a sweatshop…but I do in no way promote it.

If the workers in the foreign country are used to working 20 hours a day for $1, then would it still be considered a sweatshop?

All car manufacturers are doing bad but GM and Chrysler have proven to be completely worthless. Chrysler just flat out makes a shitty product. GM makes some nice cars but has to sell them at too high of a price to make any money. You can blame the union but you have to also blame management for letting the union fuck them over.
