Corperations

Corporations in 3rd world countries pay on average 500-800% of the income people are making there. These companies build factories there because they can pay less for labor than they would in America, meaning they in turn can charge lower prices, and sell more. By the same token, the workers who work in them don't do so to help the company, but because it's 5-8 times the money they would make at the next best alternative.

Voluntarily entered agreement to mutual benefit...the alternative is to take the Susan Sarandon approach (that is, legislate the jobs there out of existence..."better they starve"). The entire reason a company would go halfway across the world is because it's cheaper...using government Force to Coerce people into paying American wages will not mean the people there will be making more money...the companies simply won't build plants there (how could they afford to pay more for wages and for shipping? and why would any person do that?)

Bottom line, companies do not exist to provide jobs and wages. Wal-Mart does not sell bread to me for $X because I want it for that price...they offer it because the $X is more valuable to them than the bread. By the same token, I don't exist to provide income to Wal-Mart. I don't shop at Wal-Mart because it needs my money...I buy the bread because I value the bread more than my $X. But at the end of the day, each of us can only OFFER the other our property...neither can coerce the other; we each have the power to refuse the deal and walk away.

The situation is no different in India. A company can show up and build a factory, open the doors, and OFFER to pay people X. If X is worth more than their labor (which it surely will be if it's 5-8 times more than they're making now), they may choose to accept the deal. Just as the company has no right to Force people to work for them (or to order them to work under certain conditions), the individuals have no right to Force the company to hire them or employ them under certain conditions.

(As a side note, whenever a company opens a new factory over there, people typically beat down the doors to get such "low paying" jobs...they offer bribes to the employers, offer to pay their first month's salary in return for securing a job for a family member, etc. What we consider low paying here is actually an opportunity few of them would ever see, as it is more than any other place there pays them.)

The fact that even the "poor" in America on average own clothes, radios, TVs, at least 1 CAR, phones, air conditioning, a dishwasher, and a multitude of other conveniences that the "better off" in countries can only dream of owning is the result of (semi) Free, unCoerced interaction with one another...and corporations are an incredibly efficient way for entrepreneurs to team together and invest capital to create more products, wealth, and job opportunities than anything else in all of history.

Cornered Babe

It's a term used by or to describe a woman who is yet unaware or already feels she is not getting the attention she deserves from a man she is seeing, dating, ... when it is obvious the man should be on his knees begging for her attention, instead he's putting himself on a pedestal and making her feel worthless, insecure, insignificant, disposable... If she is not yet aware of this, her friends probably hope that one day she wakes up and thinks, 'wait a minute', I'm more witty, intellectual, younger, sexier than him', I can get a man much better than You. You should be proud and thankful to have me on your arm, kneel for you, in your bed, give you any attention at all ... and you're not, you're so inflated with your own self that you're unable to appreciate the gem you've got... or had'...

A cornered Babe is someone who is not aware or just become aware that she's in a connection to a douchebag... someone not worthy of her kindness, beauty and intelligence.

a sexy young woman is in a connection to a 15 year older man ... she's sexy, good looking, he's kinda average looking (if you wanna be kind about it) with an average sized cock. She showers him with poetry and gifts, he never gives her any gift being emotional or actual... except for pics of his cock, which isn't much of a gift, except for maybe the gift of assuring the expectations aren't too erm, big. Then one day she wakes up from her self imposed state of irrational devotion and goes 'wait a minute, I'm the babe in his corner here' she closes her eyes and imagines Patrick Swayze pulling her out of his corner and dancing in front of her douchebag's nose. She was a 'CORNERED BABE' but no more...!
