“I’m just trying to make the case that there are some decent people in each industry, who are just trying to make a living”
“Decent people” are many times illegal employees in the U.S. and very exploited workers in garment factories overseas. Their decency does not make up for what crap a lot of the industry is.
Divas, bribes, collusion, corruption, exploitation, huge markups on mere “name” alone, and for what, the “decent people”? No. It all goes to to the immoral and corrupt top of the food chain in “fashion” and the “decent” people are the dispensable ones.
Wuli, unless folks want to go back to making their own clothes and totally stop buying commercial products, there’s going to be some of this going on.
Why don’t you tell me what you think would fix things. Perhaps I’ll agree.
