Thanks José for that correction;
the problem is economic for Bangladesh and all the euphemistically called
"developing countries" - but THAT is all due to imperialist politics.

and Les,
I still can't understand the worry about chips and WATER - unless you mean
that in the imperialist countries they can afford to spend high amounts
purifying water to the nth degree for use in their industry - and are not
prepared to spend ANYTHING worth talking about to make sure that people
across the world have access to water fit to drink - only on armaments to
oppress them further.

- in which case:
of course, I agree with you 110%
