Temu: contribute to the irreversible heat death of your own planet just to save some money on useless, piss poor quality trinkets created out of cancer-causing, hazardous materials using slave labor coupled with unfair market practices that are then shipped thousands of miles over the oceans using the world’s worst polluting container ships… like a billionaire.
I’ve completely lost faith in places like Amazon. Used to be able to find decent stuff there but unless you’re looking for a specific brand/item, it’s all crap. Wanted to find some relatively decent priced workout shorts with a compression liner built in. There’s so many shitty brands that all have the same damn images for the shorts. They’re all just going to be drop shipped BS from China with no one actually standing behind the product. I’m back to B&M stores now like Dick’s and their DSG line is actually reasonably priced and good quality.

That should be their slogan.
edit: added slave labor, unfair market practices edit: added hazmat
You forgot the parts about slave labor, unfair market practices and piss poor quality products.
I got you, fam(ily). It has a real smooth, simple ring to it. ;)
Gd, that’s so inspiring that I want to shop like a billionaire RIGHT NOW!
I definitely get the billionaires using slave labor to get ahead - just like Elon Musk’s family.
A lot of stuff on “western” platforms is just the same stuff rebadged for 3-10x the price. I see no reason to pay that much more for the same stuff.

I get slave labor… It seems usa companies did not care until it started hurting their bottom line.
Spot on!
Don’t forget: highly likely made from strongly cancer causing chemicals. But hey, a saved dollar is a saved dollar.
Edited. Good call.
