With sustainability and sweat shops, the trade off is making things a lot more expensive, so the offloading is more that most people don't care.

- i80and 4y agoI think a majority of people do care, but there's not really a way for them to express that in the market. You can't just buy the more expensive product and trust that it's going to be more ethically produced. It's a societal problem that can't be solved by individual consumers.
- SQueeeeeL 4y agoNon-regulatory solutions also doesn't empower the market to optimize cost in a productive way (which would cut into profits). In the current economy for the vast majority of products we have two options 1) a cheap option made in horrendous inhumane conditions and 2) a luxury good made in a process that's inherently limited in aim and scope. Globalism basically exports the suffering of the most unregulated markets to the entire planet.
