You don't understand why the price you pay makes a difference in whether someone is exploited or not? Do you think a shirt could be profitably sold for $1, and have everyone along the supply chain be paid a fair wage?
Also it's true, people are exploited for more expensive things all the time. But my point was about cheap stuff.
- latchkey 5y agoSorry, but the final price of an item cannot be used to determine whether someone along the chain was exploited. I was in the t-shirt industry for a number of years. Sold millions of them. The base price of a raw blank t-shirt at scale is around $1-4, so there isn't much room to go lower there. In essence, from your definition, ALL t-shirts are exploitation of some form or another.
