This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

how are the labor practices
Better than the US.
Oh they pay wages that accommodate people buying homes in US cities?
Does the US?
In some places. If they're better than the US the answer should be mostly yes.
I realize it's a disingenuous argument but the problem with the US isn't as much about wages. It's about cost of living and cost of everything, and our government is to blame.
So your argument is everyone in the us owns houses in cities so they have better labor practices than Mexico?
Nice strawman. The strategy of the incompetent.
In US cities??? This is in Mexico lol
If the labor practices are better than the US they should be able to buy houses in the US. I'm not the one who claimed it was better than the US.
LMAO when did buying a fuckin house in the US become some kind of gold standard? In the country where they rip you off wherever you go. I swear to God Americans are so self centered and need to measure everything based on themselves.
The average cost of a house in Mexico is way lower than it is in the U.S., why the fuck would they want or need to buy a house in a Nazi country?
Would you choose to be able to feed/house yourself and be safe from preventable dangers, or buy a house in the US? If good labour practice means the latter and not the former, then I don't believe it's a good metric on which to evaluate their chocolate.
What? Why would a job in Mexico pay enough to live in the US... That makes no sense. Cost of living isn't even the same across the US.
