RE: The Real Cost Of Electric Cars

in #science7 years ago

I really hope you posted this on here... this is stuff people need to know about! When I was working on my MA in Economics I wrote a paper for review about Nike. Nike was posting incredible P/E multiples back in the mid 90's because they were making their shoes in SE Asia and Indonesia using women who were paid pennies a day (slaves in my opinion). Koreans ran the factories and systemically raped and beat the women who worked on a quota system. It's pretty hard to make your quota id some guy is dragging you off for sex, so they got beaten for not making quota. If that isn't slavery, I don't know what is!

One thing about economists is that we're supposed to remain analytical. When I do cost/benefit analyses, I factor in human costs as well... That doesn't make my popular with "objective" economists who just look at numbers.

Your film is excellent and if you haven't posted it, you need to! I followed you on YT too.

"We need earnings, we do not care about a bunch of people" I had to hear these two sentences in front of me and I could not hit the man who said them ... bodyguards and it was a filming set... It si hard sometimes.

What people don't understand about a market economy is that Adam Smith wasn't an economist, he was a moral philosopher. I believe he intended for people to read The Theory of Moral Sentiments before applying his model!
