Weird how only the most resource-rich countries in africa are the ones going through so much shit, and it’s weird how they’re all ruled by dictators, I wonder how those positions were given to those people.
On another note! tech companies got a whole bunch of new supplies to make batteries and circuit boards! and jewelry companies have more diamonds to sell! And oil companies have more oil to turn into gas and diesel.
The most hilarious one to me is African American athletes thanking God.
Soooo, he let your ancestors get enslaved, sold, beaten, tortured, and shipped around the world by assholes… who used the Bible to defend slavery… All of this, so he could someday help you throw that pigskin for 2 touchdowns…
God truly works in mysterious ways 😂
Every consumer good in this picture has “Made In China” stamped on it.
And was built in a factory staffed by 7-10 year olds.
Eh. Industrial China isn’t so hard up for labor that it needs 7 year olds running around very expensive equipment. More likely its a 20-30 year old working a 996 in a factory half-owned by an American investor.
You’re more likely to find child labor way out on the pre-industrialized western fringe, where kids working the farm alongside their parents is closer to a matter of survival. And the Chinese government has been discouraging that, both by building schools and expanding industrial agriculture capital that makes child labor redundant.
Ironically, the US has been moving in the other direction. So maybe we’ll live to see the day when all the cheap kitche crap littered through our homes is Made In America again.
