GM Factory Workers in Mexico Get a 25-Cent Raise to $3.25 an Hour

Dear America,
You want to hit the drug cartels where it hurts without spending billions on military support to countries? Ask your companies to pay American wages in non-American countries.

@joelhamill I guess a dollar goes longer in Mexico, but still(!)

@odd I know American companies moved production to Mexico to save on labor costs, but it seems predatory to pay a Mexican employee for the day what an American employee makes in an hour.

@odd @joehamill Agree. Has to be pegged to cost of living to make a comparison. We have a similar tool for within-cities in the U.S.. It's an approximation but still something. There are a few sites to compare Mexico and U.S.
