Outside of rural villages in India, the caste system is essentially dead.

What is the straw man argument? South Carolina has lower wages and less environmental regulations than Massachusetts. Companies are growing in South Carolina and divesting from Massachusetts. It’s literally the exact same situation as india vs America. Yes. Lower costs in India hurt America’s...
