People straight up do not realize that part of the reason manufacturing is not returning to the United States in massive waves is because we have things like “OSHA” and “environmental laws” and “minimum wages.”
It’s not even just about fair wages. It’s literally about the fact that you can’t dump industrial waste in a river here anymore.
Our cheap goods are so cheap because South American and Asians environments are being destroyed so you can buy a $40 pair of shoes every 3 months.
Cutting granite countertops has lead to a rapid increase in silicosis in the lungs out in California. All the working men and women in my family have died from pulmonary fibrosis. They were carpet layers, Post office workers, floor tilers. Staying safe in manufacturing jobs is annoying but also very, very expensive. Real manufacturing factories belch smoke and dust and grime that causes asthma and birth defects in surrounding communities. Everyone wants their manufacturing jobs back until they realize their kids are living directly under the Asthma Plant.
There will come a time when the workers in these countries rise up and demand better and things will start to even out, but if you want to honestly “do your part,” you gotta stop buying cheap shit for no reason.
Not every event needs to be celebrate with a baseball cap or a coozie or a t shirt or a keychain. Not every wall in the house has to have a picture or a cute phrase on it. The knickknacks are killing people.
Yo let me be very fuckin clear for a sec here. The problem isn't that we global southerners have never risen up and demanded better - we have, we do, we will continue doing so - but that there is a concerted effort in the part of the usa and other so-called "first world" countries to keep us from organizing politically, and to keep our countries economically dependant and underdeveloped.
This is what US Aid is all about, this is the moving force behind NATO, this is why your country is always at war and why you have such a ridiculously militaristic culture, this is what your intelligence agency spends all their time coordinating, this is why Institutions like the IMF work the way they do.
From civilian puppet governments to coordinated military coups, from narc states to banana republics, from death squads to direct miliatry intervention. I cannot even begin to list all the methods the usa has made use of to stop the global south from effectively organizing, nevermind all the countries it has directly intervened on. And that's without getting into the actions of the other imperial powers. Or the less direct actions, like economic blockades, or keeping countries dependant on foreign aid, or role of the dollar.

Small clams court. Sand dollar lawsuit. Who gives a fuck
it’s fun that Mormonism is based off pseudo-archeology and Scientology is based off pseudo-psychiatry. By that logic the big American New Religious Movement of the 21st century is gonna be based on… pseudo-computer science?
