[orange, proud]
I’m willing to pay more for products MADE IN THE USA because I’m a based patriot who wants to SUPPORT REAL AMERICANS
[green, accusatory]
OK then how about supporting american workers by paying them a living wage?
[orange, dismissively shaking their hands while having a look of absolute disgust on their face]
NO

So yeah…like prison labor, it’s a symptom of late stage capitalism.
Overseas sweat shops “benefit” from currency imbalance where the US dollar, British pound, etc all go farther. So a kid at a Bangladesh sewing factory might be getting paid a dollar a day but that’s enough to pay for several days worth of meals.
The problem here is capitalism and I’m not saying that slavery is good. It sucks all around.
