So, I am sure this thread is already full of stuff, so I will add a little seriousness.
Imagine a company that could create a poor-working task force.
The company would buy a large plot of land (-$), then employ job-less Americans that are willing to work (-$).
But then, after the structure is finished, the company could tell the workers, that since they helped in the building they could get a discount in a small, roughly apartment sized room. Complete with electricity and water, the rooms would be in the budget of a poorer American, but would still allow the company a profit (+$).
Now, after they continue to get a few hundred people staying in this huge complex, they could open up a factory of some sort, depending on what the company decides on. It would employ the residents in the same huge warehouse type building and as their payment for working in the factory, they could stay in their rooms.
The company is exporting a product, without paying it's workers individually (+$).
Opinions?
