This is a GREAT article! thanks.

So given your life experience what do you think about US laws (and the cracks used to exploit them too)?

On the one hand, I can imagine your parents and your lives would have been better if this industry was better regulated. But I can also imagine if it was too much better regulated, then it just would not exist, and that work would have been done overseas.

but then maybe your parents would still have been better off since they would have been forced into different business. (if there would be one)

So overall, what conclusions do you draw?

You and your parents would have had better lives with stronger laws? And how much stronger?

Thanks for such a vivid picture of a world so far from mine!!
