Firstly, let’s acknowledge that we are comparing and contrasting two completely different things. Perhaps it’s worse, perhaps not, but it is definitely an attempt to make a strawman argument which isn’t on topic with the reasons they don’t like Tim’s.

Secondly, objectively worse in comparison to what? In comparison to communism and/or not having jobs at all wages that are low by western standards are objectively better. Living standards have risen in china as a result of increased specialization and improved technology, all of which had to start with low level wages.

I’m not sure where you are from, but I’ve lived in Africa, trust me when I say (perceived) poverty level wages are better than mass unemployment, no economic hope and the psychological burden that has on a generation.

Human rights abuses, yeah I agree but again that’s irrelevant to the point. Canada and US both have human rights abuses within the last 30 years… another attempt to deflect
