New Pope Lambasts Greed
After hundreds of workers were killed in Bangladesh when the factory they worked at making clothes collapsed, Pope Francis took a moment during his May Day homily to pray for the victims and their families as well as condemn the labor practices that took their lives. “How many brothers and sisters find themselves in this situation!” said the pontiff referring to the unfair and unsafe working conditions around the world. “Not paying fairly, not giving a job because you are only looking at balance sheets, only looking at how to make a profit. That goes against God!” He couldn’t believe that the workers inside the factory were only making roughly 38 Euros ($50) per month calling the deplorable conditions and pay “slave labor.” Workers who subsequently died. “I call on politicians to make every effort to relaunch the labor market,” said Pope Francis who went on to say that unemployment is, “an economic conception of society based on selfish profit outside the bounds of social justice.” He also said, “We do not get dignity from power or money or culture, no! We get dignity from work.” The Vatican has spoken against economic inequality throughout the economic collapse of recent years, and has been often very critical of unregulated capitalism and the harm it inflicts. http://tinyurl.com/d4vq8uf |

Interesting that Harry should take such a sudden interest in the teachings of the pope. |

No one said the factory shouldn't make a profit, by the way. |

Just as an FYI, I'd argue that incompetence was probably a bigger culprit than greed in the case of the building collapse. When things are designed and built correctly, they don't fall down. |

What a wonderfully self-delusional way to look at corporate excess. The guy who expanded the building illegally in Bangladesh was simply incompetent and didn't know what he was doing would lead to disaster. The companies who contract for the lowest price manufacturing facility didn't know the companies they retained had their workers laboring for **** wages in such a facility. It's never greed, because the free market system, why, it demands that structures and systems are designed, built, and operated correctly. Yup, so anything horrific that happens, why it is never the fault of cost-cutting or greed. |
