The shifting meaning of the word exploitation:
Companies are 100% exploiting cheaper labor in other countries - they are only interested in the bottom line.
opportunity and exploitation are not mutuality exclusive, nor does one person's opportunity erase another's exploitation.
Creating opportunity is great: do that without exploiting people - that isn't a requirement. Praise opportunity given. Denounce exploitations not to remove opportunities - but to improve them.
- ben_w 4y ago"Exploitation" has at least two very different meanings. While I have seen some texts that used the word in the same sense for "exploiting an opportunity" and "exploiting our workers", I think most of the time the former is neutral and the latter either a scam or abuse.

Denounce exploitations not to remove opportunities - but to improve them. How much should they pay the workers though? It's already stated that they are paid well above average wage in said country.
