The consequences of cost reduction
 

This situation could happen anywhere but this is not the case. In the land were cheap labour is the key to industrialization, all is made and produced as cheap as possible. There are thousands of multinational European and America companies working there. Costs are rationalized in such a way that the products manufactured end up costing less than then shipping them to Europe. All is made at the lowest possible cost with a huge lack of Quality. Today I bring you the example of the consequences on reducing production/Quality costs. Fortunately no one died with the collapse of the balding as construction was in a final stage of production, so a major disaster was avoided, the entire structure simply fell, like a deck of cards... Somehow the foundations gave way but the building itself continues almost solid, the concrete used on the actual building at lest looks solid enough.

Bit random....and several months past the last time this story made an appearance...I thought this at least might have been about the Foxconn suicides, that and them not paying money to families of those who commit suicide....

Nah thanks, don't fancy a pint of cost reduction Pabst Blue Ribbon - my taste buds tend to collapse on sheer lack of quality control... even if its for 49c/pint. That's very socially irresponsible of me to support such a brewery...

Rain check - perhaps another time, another beer.
