Blogger/Google have come up with some ridiculous banner ads for my journal in the past but this one takes the cake:
Why use maquiladoras?
It links to a company called Made In Mexico, Inc., which eagerly offers the following information:
* The entry-level wage for low-level jobs in Mexico is approximately 25% of the hourly wage paid to workers in the U.S., which nets you enormous cost savings.
* Mexico’s standard work-week of 48 hours yields unbeatable speed of production without the financial drain of overtime pay.
* Fast, easy startup with little capital investment turns projects that would be cost-prohibitive in the U.S. into lucrative possibilities.
* Tijuana’s close proximity to the U.S. border eases time constraints and transportation costs.
* With wholly owned, cost-plus shelter and subcontracting maquiladora options available through Made In Mexico, Inc., you can have as much or as little involvement with the administrative and labor-related responsibilities of your Mexican operation as you desire.
Maquiladora: (mäkelädo´rä ) n. Synonymous with Mexico manufacturing, maquiladoras are Mexican assembly plants that manufacture finished goods for export. Maquiladoras are generally owned by non-Mexican corporations that take advantage of low-cost Mexican labor, advantageous tariff regulations, and close proximity to U.S markets. Maquiladoras are one of Mexico primary sources of foreign exchange.
I fucking despise capitalism!
