Sad. Obviously, government acceptance (and probably cooperation) in places like Laos. Like in teh picture above, having this big casino and random office blocks in the middle of what is basically jungle makes no "rational" sense. Obviously something bad is going on there, yet, the police are bought off, etc. As the article says, (in so many words), "the workers are relatively free to move around, because there is no place for them to go, and if they do leave the compound, the police would quickly track them down."
