If the equitable cost for a t-shirt is ~$45, then isn't our insistence on paying $10 for a t-shirt in the wealthy imperialist countries going to make working conditions like in China, or Bangladesh, or whatever comes next inevitable?

If "raise them up" worked all the way thru wouldn't we end up with unionized high-pay workers in a future "developed" Tanzania or something demanding the world pay for $45 tshirts all the same?
Either we have to drastically lower the cost of living via lowering the standard of living to a more reasonable and equitable global baseline to reduce expected pay, start expecting to pay $45 for a t-shirt, or hope that there's always some poor country willing to build our $10 t-shirt sweatshops
