Free Market in South America

well.. after i watched the movie Mardi Gras MAde in China showed me issues that i already know about it but the same low wage problems are happing in South American

the countries from the First Wold take their companies to Ecuador Chile,Brazil, all thee small countries and treat the employees as slaves, General Motors For example has a Factory in Ecuador, now people that wants to apply for a for a job there have to be finished with high school and have college knowledge, and all these process takes to nowhere ending with 12-14 hours of work period and the salary in the same as regular employee hired from local factories, now the main problem in that General Motors is that they don't have regulations to protect the employee from all the chemist they use and the contamination in the air has no control what so ever.

my Father` friend used to work in General Motors for years and years and when he was ready to retired he found out the he had lung cancer because the company did not provide mask to protect his face. and when he when to ask for help to the company the coordinator told him that he was to be currently working in the company to receive full cover from the health insurance. now after spending his entire life in General motors he has to pay the half of price of all the medicine from a miserable retirement salary he gets from the government. thanks to his sons that work in the United States he is able to survive in Ecuador.. so REA LY SAD that the president don't force to create strong regulations to international companies that go to poor countries,,, it really makes me mad!!!!

some times money can give you status

what status for me ??
i think this is a big question depending how you think about it
People has status depending where are you from or what kind of job you do for living
or what kind if education you have or if you are rich
There are many ways to determinate your status
one example is my father is a well know man because he has many houses everywhere and most of the mortgage offices know him because he always bring business to their people
some times i have heard my father call this mortgage offices to meet them because the interesting on buying houses from them so when we get there these people are nice with us owner of this office make a reservation just for us so he can take care us on his own time
because this guy knows that if this can make a good presentation on his houses my father my invest money on his business
so I think money gives people status ,,,, the more money you have the more respect you will get when it comes to make good deal......
