Comment on Eating less meat ‘like taking 8 million cars off the road’
crystal@feddit.de 11 months agoSo you’re saying that you are not willing to pay the price for products made in climate and worker friendly conditions.
Most people aren’t and since “the little people” want harmful products, companies produce harmful products.
It is “the little people”'s fault. The corporations would offer climate and worker friendly products, if people bought them.
But the little people choose not to.

I’ll go ahead and repeat myself, since you seem to have glossed over a crucial part of my previous comment:

You do realize products somewhere else aren’t magically cheaper? That the transport actually adds to the cost?
The reason these products are cheaper is because you rely to abusing others.
And no, abuse of others is not necessary. But yes, you would not be able to live as decadent of a lifestyle if you had to have even close to as little wealth as the people whose poverty you abuse.

Decadent lifestyle? Is that some kind of joke? Who the hell is leading a decadent lifestyle in this economy? I’m lucky to even have a roof over my head, and the streets are crawling with homeless people who were only slightly less lucky!
Direct your complaints to the rich people who actually have the power to solve the problem.

Decadent lifestile compared to the people whose products you buy because you “can’t afford” to pay people in your own country.
Guess why products produced in your own country cost so much? Because the workers there get paid lots of money.
