> I have known about clothing made with child labor since I was in grade school, and I am in my mid 30s, and clothes still come from Bangladesh There are many companies that produce and sell american made apparel. [0] I buy from several of them (on the the rare occasions when I buy more clothes.) > Where is the patronizing of local businesses that use local labor to make goods? Perhaps if you spent less time making assumptions about where other people buy their clothes and more time looking for local options you would actually be helping. The end goal should not be the end of international trade but an insistance that we do not allow international trade to facilitate abuses. The core problem is that people like you and Tim Cook brush off legitimate concerns about the practices of international trade partners as "just the way things are". Edit: I would hope that Ricky Gervais, when confronted with a question about the source of this clothing, would respond thoughfully and even consider changing where he buys his clothes. Ethical business practices may be a niche market today, but the way we expand that market share isn't by just accepting the way things are.
