You should probably stop buying clothes made in the US then. A lot of clothes are made by prison (very nearly slave) labor.

- beebeepka 5y agoA not insignificant amount of Italian clothing is produced in places such as Bulgaria. I personally know a ton of people with decades of experience making stuff for high end brands. These people are not technically slaves but their pay is often way below what is legal, AND they are denied basic worker rights like breaks and days off.
