Some of the unwanted American clothes end up being shipped to my country, and I assume many others. It's one of the cheapest clothing in the market and poor people buy lots of those.
The system that moves clothes from rich Americans to third world stores could be more efficient, but it does exist.
Hopefully robots will eventually become cheaper than feeding slaves.
