It's what they are good at, comparing costs and maximizing profits.
They will find the way to get around it at least partially even if they have to invest into fully automatic production with limited human labor.
Managers of these companies are good at doing that and are richly rewarded for doing so.
Instead of China it might be other cheap labor place like Vietnam, India or even eastern Europe.
Just take Ford as example, they made trucks in Turkey, imported trucks as passenger vehicles to get around chicken tax, de-mounted passengers seats in states to sell it as protected trucks.
Eventually they got caught. But do you think they would to this gray business if it wasn't profitable ?
Even if we look at it as having $1.3 billion USD "loan" without a mortgage, because they eventually had to pay back these taxes, it's still profitable because these $$$ allowed them to build more and sell more in less time + they saved costs on cheap labor.
They could but they are after maximizing profit. Why else would be corporates moving their factories to the other end of the world? To give poor people a job? Or to reduce costs because domestic labour is much more expensive?
Won't automakers be moving their production lines aboard as result ? There are companies that moved production abroad to reduce costs or/and not have to care about working conditions. Just saying.
Because people are so numbed by all of these things, that masses are just silently accepting all of what these companies throw at them.
Consumers have to wake up from this lethargy and start to support honest business or it will be too late.
I think bots can be used for news etc. I don't see anything wrong with that. It's basically like blog post with discussion. Give you topic to talk about.
Obviously bots commenting makes little to sense.
Isn't browser technically third party app?
joking aside, some of us used Browser and old. reddit.com .
BTW I'm now using Firefox to access Lemmy as well.
I'm also using Firefox to edit all my reddit history on second device as of now.
I didn't leave reddit because I couldn't use third party app or mod tools, I left because I got fed up with being "noise" and taken for granted. Also I dislike monopolistic corporation behavior . They ruined gaming when I used play, they spy on every step I take and want to control everything I bought as they see fit.
Firefox won't let me open it within that tool.
Edge and Chrome will allow me to open it but old.reddit.com refuses the connection. I guess they countered it or something ?
First off browser didn't even allow to open embed website within none securely written website.
With less secure setting old.reddit.com will refuse connection.
It seem idea of fedderating has spread even beyong feerated network. It's good thing. Sort of antimonopolisti.
