Take for example a lot of our clothes and electronics and food is either so cheap or available at all thanks to slavery or near slavery. Most chocolate, especially from the big brands we all know, is in a large part made and cheap thanks to child slavery.
If we don't like these things, be informed and make conscience choices.
yah like it's so easy. just buy from a business that donates. it's not like they waste money too and destroy family biz.
my neighbor doesn't give a f@#k and spends $4000 a month on Amazon cr#p alone.
