For you a extra dollar for your tube socks not might be a big deal, but for others a extra dollar on tube socks and other miscellaneous items to boost the quality of life for someone in another country might mean their child is the one going hungry tonight.
Yes 3rd world does support the lifestyle of those of us living in the 1st world and as cruel as it is, how much would you be willing to sacrafice so that everyone could be equal the world round. Do you honestly think that you could maintain the quality of life that you enjoy if things were equal the world over???
and Nike is just the tip of the iceberg here, in general its not the nikes of the world that need to do business in 3rd world countries, nor would it make much of a difference if they didn't, its the tube sock makers, the cheap running shoes and various other clothing manufacturers. Yes, Nike would probably still make money if they manufactured in NA, however, the majority of companies are not in their situation.
