I want to understand how that would work. Take the refrigeration industry, for example. Say, we have a refrigerator factory that employs 9000 workers. I assume the refrigerators would be given away as gifts to - whom exactly? Would people who want them just come from all over the world to pick them up? And the people who work in the factory - how would they, for example, get housing? -m _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
