You're using the exact same logic as those that were using child labour for coal mining in the 1800s.
They're being specifically exploited because that is what the company set out to do. You could argue any number of benefits as a smokescreen but the reality is that they hired people in Kenya because they knew they could exploit them. Everything else is post-hoc rationalization.
- tofuahdude 4y agoExcept that nowhere did I advocate for child labor. That is obviously abhorrent and clear false equivalence. Are the employees adults? Yes. Are they being forced to work there? No. Are they choosing / trying to work there because the pay is higher than their alternatives? Yes. Very different than child labor.
