Offshore-owned factories in Vietnam that make things like sports shoes, clothing, and circuit boards may offer terrible wages and working conditions by U.S. or European standards, but for many Vietnamese they offer the only available chance to live The Good Life. Those factory salaries offer workers a chance to own such luxuries as a battery-powered radio and a bicycle, possibly even (after years of saving and struggling) a motor scooter and a TV.
Give me a break. The Vietnamese are victims of their own tyrannical, despotic, murderous government. Listening to a Vietnamese talk about "freedom," software or otherwise, while they fail to address the sad, sad history of communist Vietnam is a sorry waste of time.
