The World Bank is the REAL exploiter of third-world countries. They held provide the capital in the forms of loans to developing countries, which create the economic opportunities for the countries to be exploited as a source of cheap labor.

You can't expect a business to NOT want to minimize its cost. The objective of a business is to maximize profit, businesses are not charities, they don't exist to increase the well-being of its workers. Thanks to the World Bank's activities, businesses have even more access to developing countries, which they use as a source of cheap labor. Also, if there was no minimum wage, businesses would have less incentive to move production overseas, because they could find cheaper labor domestically where OSHA regulations are more strict and provide safer working environments.

both of these are false. it's legitimate to trade on the quality of the product and not the price point, and to that end you can only minimize cost as much as you can maintain your quality standards. the second is a simplistic way of viewing a business model. maximizing profit does not necessarily guarantee the long term success of a business; unless you're a predatory investor who is prepared to sell of their shares as soon as the business goes into decline then you are better off building your model for longevity, not profit maximization. to that end, market share is probably a more important consideration.

The original purpose of unions was to improve working conditions. OSHA protects workers from hazards. Now it's become bastardized to protect pensions.

Case in point: the cluster fuck in Wisconsin recently with the failed recall. Teachers' unions spent tens of millions trying to recall Scott Walker, only to have it blow up in their faces. I wonder how many teachers they could have hired for the same amount of money? It's clear to me they care more about their political agenda than the people they supposedly represent.

Trust me, I used to be a union member. When the union cronies told me to join (I live in a non-right to work state, so I have to give money to the union, whether I'm a member or not) they emphasized "our goal is to protect our pensions."

That kind of attitude is what's fucking this great nation of mine, and many others. If you think that outsourcing everything to the lowest bidder doesn't hurt you, you're mistaken.
Even IF your responsibilities as a consumer ended with getting the best value (which they don't), there are other responsibilities to consider. Your responsibilities to other members of the human race, exploited and forgotten in distant lands. Your responsibilities to the workers in your own country, out of a job, out of hope and living on the dole. Your responsibilities to the planet, slowly being choked with the detritus of unregulated manufacturing. What about your responsibility to yourself and your children, who ought not to live in a world where the gap between rich and poor is so big you can't see the shores of the other side?

Your 'buy cheapest' strategy may work in the short term, but in the end you'll pay and you'll pay dearly. Irresponsible manufacturing practices may give you a cheap shirt today, but in the long run they'll give you a polluted planet, a dearth of quality and debtor's nation that produces nothing and consolidates all of its wealth into a tiny fraction of the population that you probably will not belong to.
Your actions and your choices ARE important. Don't make the mistake of thinking that responsibility ends with one's self.

You're missing the point, it was rhetorical afterall.

It's not about how much you spend, it's about your buying power, your percentage of income.

Dropping a million dollars on clothes when you're a trillionaire is not the same as a homeless man spending his last 5 bucks at a thrift store. People get mad over how much other people spend when, for all they know, they're spending more of their income than the other person is.

>why is she wearing her boobs over her bra

I figured out that your clothes can literally change how you feel about yourself. After years of catholic school uniforms errday this was quite the revelation. Still very picky about ties (the only thing we could really change).

I don't think I'll have the confidence to get a girlfriend when I move to the big city, so I'm here trying to improve myself so I can find love/sex.
Also for the lulz.
