Do people not understand how insulting it is to call people in poorer nations who work hard to build a better lives for themselves and their families by making the crap you buy "slaves" is? Am I the only one who gets annoyed by this?

- stormqloud 6y agoThe only people that benefit from the current system are the executive for fortune 500 companies. They buy junk to sell us made by slaves, they capture 99% of the profit in the importation step and then they avoid paying any taxes with legal.paperwork scams through Ireland, channel islands etc.

- stormqloud 6y agoWalmart, amazon etc They all have local contractors to handle the messy work of beatings, imprisonment. "work will set you free". Bonus points for where that comes from.

- DC1350 6y agoThey’re rental slaves. Anyone living paycheque to paycheque is. If your employer didn’t pay you anything but provided you with everything you and your family needed, with nothing left over so you have nothing to support you if you quit, that would be slavery. This is the same thing. Does it make you feel better to pretend it’s not true?
- stormqloud 6y agoThey pay just enough to survive, but not enough to plan for the future, improve your position in life, or be finacially stable enough to be a thoughtcrime troublemaker.
- stormqloud 6y agoThe people who work at amazon warehouses are slaves too. Being a slave is about being abused in a working environment. It has nothing to do with racism. They make the crap, make slave wages, amazon flys it over and makes all the $$$. You should get excited about that.
