Aren't shoe companies notoriously scummy in regards to human rights? Nike has quite a lengthy controversies section on Wikipedia, and they're where a lot of his

  Yeah, you can choose between two worlds: in the current one, Nike is producing shoes in you don't want to really know circumstances and is paying LeBron ~$40M a year. In another world, LeBron is still a millionaire, getting a nice $1M a year. The rest, a mere $39M, which in Paul Graham terms is just a couple months from turning into a billion, goes to the hopeless kids actually churning out the god damn shoes. LeBron did nothing wrong. The system is this corrupt.

    If you wish to live in a world of mediocrity then reward no one for merit. Look no further than to history to see the results of a merit less society.

      Look around you. The stuff you wear, some of the stuff that surround you. The display you're reading this on. It was made by someone who cannot afford healthy food. Meritocracy my hairy ass.

  Nike has some of the best labor policies of all the shoe companies now. Their controversies were in the 90s.
