Quote:Your life is filled with food and products that were grown assembled or produced by people who make little to nothing/can not support their lives for what money they make, and therefore are often indebted to the company they work for to subsidize their basic needs, which means they can not leave their jobs. This is not an example of a chattle slave but a slave none the less by definition. (A person held in servitude; one that is completely subservient to another)
-and..what.....does someone else's predatory business model, which is not slavery to begin with, have to do with me...and whether or not I condone slavery? I'm left wondering, additionally..when you snuck into my house and took inventory? How you managed to determine the provenance of my possessions?
Your fantasies about joseph are useless in this regard, and would be irrelevant even if they were actually true, so I think we can let that dog lie.
Your whole blind self-righteous attitude is what I am talking about. Just because you retitled the term slavery with names like sweat shop laborer or migrant worker does not mean those people are not forced to work in those places. a lot of times the only reason those people work as they do is because they were simply born in the wrong part of the world or to the wrong family. How many kids in Korea do you think aspire to work for .32 cents an hour 16 hours aday/till the work shift quota is filled?
Made to kneel on rice with hands outstretched or outright beaten if they miss a deadline.. Just so you can have your fav running shoe.
To which I want to point out these are not even considered to be 'bad' conditions. their are far worse places to work in the world and the closer one gets to the raw material given products are made from the worse it gets.. Google India leather production. They are using a 2000 year old facility that reeks of death (rotting meat) and chemically treats the leather in big vats that what look like slaves from 2000 years ago stomp around in. which destroys their bodies. this same leather is sought after world wide to go in the best of the best designer shoes/products. If I remember correctly those people were making less than .50 cents a day.
Or google sulfur mining in that same region or ship scrapping. those two products can be found in just about EVERYTHING modern life demands!
Maybe you should explain to me how you (as the rest of us) are not driving a market that not only condones the use of slaves but rewards it by letting them make record prophets with little to no oversite if we are all tied to the products and raw material directly produced by the people?
