Accelerate Production!
05.31.2009 Greetings,
The title is from an automated voice in a factory in Juarez, Mexico. Where thousands of women work for $5 an hour assembling televisions and appliances under NAFTA "free trade" agreements. No insurance, no benefits.
Cheap labor. Hundreds perhaps thousands of women brutally murdered. Powerful Mexican and American economic and political interests. Bordertown.
"You are falling behind in meeting your quota. Accelerate production! Accelerate production!"
Metta.
