There are many people who try to use the excuse that sweatshops are okay because at leasst the people are making "something." It's not really even about the money in my eyes. It's the deplorable working conditions. We are talking about instances where 16yo children colapes and die after working 16 hour shifts day after day. Where people have centeral nervous system damage from the Glue Nike uses to adhere the soles onto shoes.
You think I'm telling you Bullshit?
