Do I really have to back that up? Corporations go make their products in countries where there are no labor laws, where they make people and even children work

Do I really have to back that up?
Corporations go make their products in countries where there are no labor laws, where they make people and even children work 16 hours/day, to make your shoes for 50c and then sell them back to you for $50.
Do they care about minorities? Why don't they open a factory in some depressed area in the States instead of going to China?
Do they care about gay rights? Why don't they denounce/boycott Muslim countries where they have the death penalty for being gay?
Do they care about women? Why do they support factories where women work 16 hours and are regularly harassed?
Companies are pandering to liberal kids with left-wing, progressive ideas because they want their money and they are the demographic most willing to give it to them. In the process, they annoy everyone else—including people who don't care about politics, or don't live with their parents and understand what actual problems people have. Unfortunately I'm in the second group.

Its because it was not profitable. Now thanks to a cadre of reeducated college grads entering the workforce with real $$$, adjustments have to be made... Seniors dont go to the movies, still have cable, parents have adult things to worry about, midcareer professionals are hustling hard... theres a very specific market for netflix and chill....
