This is a good example of the slaves we all hold - in the US and outside. No-one owns a smartphone, a PC, or pretty much any modern item without having slaves.

- SyzygistSix 5y agoThe good thing about chocolate is that the better quality you buy, usually the less inequity went into making it.

- drewcoo 5y agoThat's not what "having" means. I own textiles. I do not own a loom. The loom is used to manufacture the textiles. I own plastic items. I do not own an oil well. The oil well is used to get oil used to make petroleum products. Etc.
- Dah00n 5y agoYeah there are a lot of ways people dodge that people live (and die) like slaves so we are able to buy smartphones. This is just another one. They still live as they do because of us no matter how one jump through hoops to not acknowledge it.
