You can spot bullshit journalism by scanning intent - and omissions.
First, intent: creating FUD to coerce #protectionism against #China, without calling it protectionism, because protectionism bad - unless it's there to protect US private interests, in which case protectionism good!
Second, omission: which goddamn toy manufacturer does NOT rely upon #sweatshops? All western toy producers do this in the east and global south.

The #rich countries could always spend less on #military and more on #aid to #poor countries instead of forcing #poor in those countries to work in #sweatshops in deadly conditions. Problem solved! #redistribution
Applies to #climatechange too

The Great #MAGA #Job #Scam: How Trump is Plotting the New #American #Sweatshops
They say they’re “bringing back jobs,” but what they really want is a desperate, powerless workforce with no healthcare, no unions, and no future — just the way Wall Street likes it…

Let's be fair. They are hoping for the factories coming back and to be competitive on the global market the US current minimum wage is still too high.
They don't stop to think it through. They're the ones who'll be the exploited. Living in factory owned single-room-apartments in shifts, shop in the companies own store empty processed food heading for an early pauper's grave,

That's a long hashtag...
How about...
#DecentMone ? Short for
#DecentralizeMonetization ?"But that would infer that #centralized #money is indecent."
Why yes, there is indecent money. That which stems from #exploitation ... from #softimperialism ... from #slavery.
Tell me again why it was smart to move most of western fabrication and manufacturing to where #sweatshops and #humanrightsviolations roam free?
"But think of the savings..."
That which is #unethical is also #cheap...

Consumenten verenigt u! (De Groene)
Met mensenrechten heeft een begrip als internationale solidariteit al lang niets meer te maken. Het gaat nu om handelsbelangen.

Last night the BBC aired a Panorama investigation into fast fashion giant Boohoo.
The revelations were worse than we feared. 13 hour days, forced overtime, and deceitful subcontracting.

The #Barbie hype is a great time to talk about toy sweatshops:
“Between shifts the workers, mostly young women, their faces set in exhaustion, shuffle from building to building…
Li Mei is worn out, so she looks older than her 18 years. Her skin is bad from too little daylight and she has many healing and still-open cuts on her hands.”
(Extract from a 2007 book by Eric Clark)

@icedquinn @kaia so basically what I just said:
"This is just #combining the disadvantages of #Fiverr, #AWS & #Sweatshops with 0 advantages."

@kaia WTF!?
This is just #combining the disadvantages of #Fiverr, #AWS & #Sweatshops with 0 advantages.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Mechanical_TurkAlso I'm convinced they don't care about that because the people doing these #Shitjobs ain't in the Global "North"...
Just like shitty #EcoHipster|s don't care that their #BatteryElectricVehicles' production es even more envoirmentally disastrous than a regular car and it's fuel...
