Are cheap goods worth what we are enabling in poor countries? Worse than slavery is what we are supporting. At least a slave was valued as property.


If we stopped buying the the goods made by these people, how many would starve to death as a result?


That is not my problem.

But starving people get aggressive and violent and tend to kill other people who have food. That could well be our problem

People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
