The OSSC Pro thread today. WTF?
Lol wow.
At first I was like yeah you really can't fault someone for not wanting to rely on massively underpaid labor with criminal working conditio.... oh wait, that's not what's going on here is it.

That's happening all around, but the 'Merica First thing made me smile. The OSSC Pro IP is an product of Iceland!

If you read the thread, there is an open source DIY design planned. That will allow you to assemble your own unit in country, but that's imperfect because the components will still be products of cheap labor. It's unavoidable.
Technically, if you want an all-American device, you can't build an OSSC Pro. That IP is "manufactured" in Iceland (that's where marq's brain is) and marqs isn't getting paid a fair wage for the work. From design to manufacturing, nobody is making money.
If you're concerned about global inequality, almost everything that people do contributes. In many cases, there are few or no alternatives. I didn't get the impression the temper tantrum in that thread is really about global inequality, though. It's rooted in globalism and trade grievances. That's a valid complaint, but it's bollocks to go trolling and politicking marqs. Marqs is very resourceful, but he doesn't rule the planet. There's only so much he can do, here.
That discussion in that thread is off topic trolling and shit posting.
