Looked to me like an attempt to pull off an in-line bulleted list.

I mean, we've been trying to do other things, but they won't play nice. I guess we need to exterminate a few, then offer the rest the opt-in to pay higher taxes as an alternative.

As I understand it, these sweatshop jobs do resist the standard of living in the areas they are in. The people there don't have the option to work a job that we would consider good. They work the job we consider terrible, and they get paid more than they would doing other jobs.

To make a moral judgement, we must balance between "terrible working conditions, no protections, maximum wealth extraction," on the one hand, and "no infrastructure, no job, no money" on the other. Sadly, there is no profit in making the world better for everyone.

No, unacceptable.

Undo, undo!

Are you using the US or China as your "here?" Because I don't think it's quite that bad in the US, but I don't think anyone blames the voters in China.

I think it refers to being being out at work, or at a major event.

If I shit myself at work, I'm going home. I'm not coming back, either.

If I'm out hiking, same again.

If i'm running errands, I might have to go back out to finish them. The groceries aren't gonna buy themselves, and now I really have to do the laundry.

Narrator: he did not, in fact, know what the hell he was doing.

I mean, I'm not 100% opposed to some of the things he claims he's trying to accomplish. But I'm not what you'd call an expert on the topic, and I might have some bad ideas about how the economy works. But even if I'm not barking up the wrong tree, the things he's doing are not how you accomplish the things he says he wants to accomplish.

Why do we keep electing stupid old men to office?

Right. They are just gonna let anyone sell anything.

My wife is artsy, and I'm sciency. Maybe we can go into snake oil.
