Yes, because that is where all the profit goes in Western companies, and not the CEO, upper management and stockholders…
You are not wrong in assuming that exploited labor is being under compensated, but different models of labor exploitation aside, people actually making value are not the people reaping the benefits.
Ok but it’s not done by a bunch of Robin Hoods, they rip off (read: steal and then destroy the economic capacity of) small/independent designers all the time too.
Oh absolutely, I was mainly targeting the notion that the way “legit” companies distribute the profits is somehow more fair.
If anything these markets show what the actual cost of production is, so it shows how much profit could have been distributed to those actually producing the goods. (Including designers, factory workers etc)
A lot more people could have sustainable incomes instead of CEOs getting their third yacht…

That’s true, I would prefer the people doing the most work get the most reward. But currently they’re getting none, so I would settle for some.
