We should be talking about this instead of tariffs. But Americans want their stuff cheap and fast and don't care who's on the other end

🎯💯You nailed it...Americans don't care.

They took our jobs!
Bring these jobs back to America!
We need to see Americans fainting in sweatshops
Put Americans back to work!
The Golden Age is here!

Unfortunately, this administration thinks this is what we need to aspire for as a nation. Get rid of all those high paid, high value producing scientists & PhDs along with the folks who’ve dedicated their lives to various forms of public service and enslave our future to the sweat shop.

Brilliant.

And start 'em when they're young. Who needs to finish high school when you can work in a sweatshop or a slaughterhouse? 😕

Well, it seems pretty simple to me...
If you are buying Nike 'stuff', STOP IT!!
I guarantee you'll be successful.
Just look at our collective impact on Tesla!!

I highly recommend researching brands on Goodonyou before making a purchase. They do a pretty comprehensive review and show their process looking at sustainability, labor and animal ethics

Americans will do this under the new United States of Donald Trump

Corporations move labor-intensive production out of the US in search of the poorest and most desperate workers around the world to maximize profits in a 'race to the bottom.' We should focus on supporting transnational labor rights, living wages, safety & environmental protections across the globe.

Theoretically this is what good, robust trade deals should accomplish! Free trade or reduced-barrier trade between countries should be predicated on the enforcement of at least minimal environmental and labor standards. However, corporations have many ways of evading or misleading oversight bodies
