I wonder how much that sweatshirt from Ol' Mavy cost Ol' Mavy to produce? I wonder how much they paid the persons involved in making it? Do you think they get health care? Do you think they get education? Do you think America's foreign policy has affected the lives of these people? America is a consumerist/materialist society. So our progress of getting cheap clothes is not just because robots. It costs child labor. It costs dangerous working. It cost creating economic instability and large "loans" for political and corruptible leverage. It costs inequity on such a grand scale that it truly puts all of us into the one percentile in comparison. But please ... keep wolfing dog the bread and laughing at the circus.
