#2 Cheap labor actually only applies to owners of companies who simply transfer the costs to everyone else to cover the various 'perks' of western socialism (food,housing,medical,etc).

#3 Building on the opening comments from the Periwinkle Mistress, Mrs. Ret. has been told in the hallowed halls of NHOH at NASWI there will be no more discussions of Ebola for fear of panicking the population.
