Oh, and you forgot anything that requires child labour in the 21st century. I love these OP type of comments. They always give me a chuckle. I feel like everything reverts to child labour or tragedy of the commons (pollution, excessive harvesting of natural resources). Seriously, can you imagine what businesses said in Victorian England when the child labour acts were proposed? And how about the environmental laws in 1970s in United States? "Oh, how can we continue our filthy, harmful business under these new laws?" This kind of thinking promotes "race to the bottom" mentality that I reject. You said it best: "Some kind of businesses aren't worth having."
On a more positive note: I wish wealthy countries would pass laws to ban ship breaking in countries with weaker environmental laws. It seems like a terrible loop hole today that would not be very expensive to patch. When you look at how chemical plants operate in wealthy (mostly environmentally clean) places, pollution controls are front and center for the whole staff. They well know the fines easily exceed profits, and they don't want to wreck their own communities with pollution.
