No one cares that their products are made possible by literal slave labor. Most people care so little, they aren't even aware which of their belongings are made possible through slave labor. You really think anyone is really concerned with how companies treat human life? Concerned enough to sacrifice their own benefits instead of just parting with pretty words? I don't think so.
- op03 7y agoPeople care. It's just that things break down in hyperefficient settings (factories, warehouses etc) when unpredictable events hit them. These environments aren't great at adapting quickly to things they haven't faced before. Before anyone with decision making power or imagination, can be pulled in to deal with some issue, (that no one has training or experience to handle on the front lines), it's already all over social media and the news. That's just how things work currently. Give it a few days before reacting to whatevers on the net or on the news.
- bluntfang 7y ago> People care. They really don't. If people cared, Nike wouldn't use child slave labor.
- oarsinsync 7y agoSome people can afford to care and don't. Most people just can't afford to demonstrate they care. If you're part of an exploited underclass, feeding your family has to be more important.
- Kaiyou 7y agoThat's just an excuse to shift responsibility. In a kill or be killed situation, you could always choose to be killed instead of killing, you'd just have to sacrifice your life. It's just that people don't actually care enough to give up their life or any of their benefits. It always comes down to the fact that people will not give up their own benefits for someone else. If you want people to do something you have to appeal to their self-interest, not their morality.
