Yeah, how dare people expect to be paid a livable wage!

Wait, are you saying it's okay for Chinese children to not be paid livable wages for the work they do in Hasbro's factories?

There's a reason why companies seek impoverished low-wage havens like China to create cheap consumer products; the average non-skilled worker in fully industrialized nations like the US has a disproportionate understanding of the value of their work commensurate with the level of training/education/experience they've received.

Clearly it's not cheap to produce if Hasbro has to raise the price of their figures TWICE in a six month period.

If Hasbro made their figs here, they'd be $100 each, at least.

Wrong, well, you're not wrong, but you are wrong, if that makes sense. You only think it will be that because that is what people have been programmed to think. People have been taught to expect domestically produced goods will be higher so they allow companies to get away with doing such. If the consumer actually held companies accountable, they wouldn't get away with it. Maybe it's time we stop allowing CEOs to make millions upon millions of dollars by exploiting coustomers? We force companies to put a salary cap on their owners like they do to their lowest ranked employees. We force companies to meet us halfway instead of us having to go the full length. You want our money, you've got to earn it.

And I'm not just referring to Hasbro, but ALL companies be it in the toy industry, the medical industry (like the bullshit for EMS), movie one, video game one, etc.

Also, by having factories in the US, they could take better care of quality control because the employees will care about the quality of the products they produce since they are being paid right.
