The outrage is hypocrisy. Oh, it's fine for all of our consumer goods to be built by de facto slaves, toiling under much worse conditions than these construction workers, because to protest that we would actually have to change our lifestyle, lest we look like abject hypocrites. Just install some more suicide nets at the Apple plant and don't worry about it.

- pnt12 5y agoYou're arguing at a strawman with a flavor of whataboutism - many people don't think that's OK, and different problems don't invalidate this one. Other than that: individual boycott doesn't work. For example, I don't buy Apple products but the company is doing more than fine.
