A quarter million workers is pretty unfathomable to me. I'm an engineer at a company with over 6,000 manufacturing workers in one location and that seems enormous.
The video mentioned $14 a day for the workers. In the US it's a lot closer to $20 an hour, or $160 a day.
$146 a day difference, * 250,000 = $36.5 million a day difference in direct labor costs. That turns into a couple billion dollars a year. It's staggering.
