Should be assigned viewing in all high schools / colleges

What is sad is how few people watch documentaries like this, much less review them...and apparently some who did watch a little bit of it missed the entire point. Shipping has destroyed worker wages worldwide. It is also destroying the environment worldwide. Sure, bringing us cheap goods, but if all workers were paid better than a pittance wouldn't we be able to increase sales worldwide? Create a higher standard of living for everyone? The gullible believe that the government is out to get them and reduce their "freedoms" but the truth is if most people are kept desperately poor they never have any choice to begin with.
