I’ve seen sweatshops before and there’s no defending them, especially since exploitative child labor is usually involved.

Did you watch the video? "Sweatshops" are good for capitalism and the countries there in b/c without them most of the people in those countries would be out of work and starve. The only alternative I see is socialism which is NEVER the answer since it only creates more suffering.

So the choices are: 1. Sweatshop 2. Starve 3. Socialism

What would you chose?

The alternative to sweatshops is almost unimaginable grinding poverty. The children involved will not be going to fully staffed daycare centers with one staffer with a masters degree in early education per child, but to a tin shed hovel with a dirt floor and very little food or worse.

Leave the people in the third world alone and let them make the best living they can.

The battle cry of fiscal “conservatives” often lacks moral clarity.

I remember a few trips to the DMV before they got A/C at most locations. Now THAT was a sweatshop.
