They’ll be shipped on an aging vessel to an unknown poor African country to be disassembled by unlicensed, unprotected children, often under near slavery conditions to extract any precious metals. Just so you know for the next Gilette razor you buy.
- dondawest 7y agoYou’re trying to make people disgusted by this situation but I’m just not because the only thing even more disgusting is the alternative : those African children having no job and starving. Brb, Off to buy some Gillette razors to keep them employed !

- edejong 7y agoYou can only make that statement when the following statements are also true: 1. The children are rational economic citizens 1a. They have a complete view of the job market 1b. They take into account the cost of the number of healthy years lost 1c. They are informed on the health implications of their line of profession 2. The market of metal salvaging is not substituting another market (for example farming or fishing) 3. The children are not coerced or enslaved All of these statements are most likely false. By promoting the development of the metal salvaging market, you are preventing a third alternative: the development of new markets (or the sustenance of healthier markets).
