The fact that you're being silently downvoted suggests this generation does not want to be cornered on what its moral principles are. Disappointing.

- slashdot2008 6y agoI'm in the market for new flat screen TV. Hopefully I can find one made in South Korea or even Japen, and will pay a premium for it. A pitiful sacrifice to make from someone who can easily afford it.
- stupendousyappi 6y agoNot much of a sacrifice, the best OLEDs are currently made by LG, Samsung and Vizio.
- lvs 6y agoEven so, there's a limit to how much the consumer can do, given how interconnected supply chains are. Your TV may ultimately be assembled in SK, but it will definitely be sending revenue to China for myriad internal components. A boycott is a challenging thing to implement at the consumer level with modern supply chains. It's unclear what the best mechanism to apply moral shame should be, especially when political action is only interpreted cynically as economic competition. (...And I'm being silently downvoted just as you are.)
