you call it "near slave wages" whereas they might call it "enough wages to survive" - whose description is more relevant here?
If they wished to not work at the sweatshop - they would stop working at the sweatshop. Whose opinion is more relevant here?
If you think their lives would be better not working at the sweatshop, you should educate and empower the sweatshop workers. Removing the choice of the already disadvantaged is evil.
- BriggyDwiggs42 3y agoBoth descriptions are accurate actually; you need to pay a slave enough to survive or you’ll quickly run out of slaves. It’s not a choice if the alternative is literally starving to death. “Hi, give me your wallet or I’ll shoot you with this gun” isn’t considered a choice because we understand that the amount of pressure being applied removes agency. Since when do people complaining about sweatshop labor not want to empower sweatshop workers? Why else would they complain in your estimation?
