    take for example yung phone na gamit mo, did it cross to your mind yung components niyan most likely mula sa slave labor ng tsina and those rare minerals from minings like sa africa na pag-aari ng mga warlords.

    yes I’m aware of such malpractices, I also knew malpractices in other industry like porn and fast fashion, In fast fashion I learned a lot of companies are getting labor for less wage in 3rd countries and the proletariats environment is also physically abusive I watched it in “The True Cost”, Age for me is also irrelevant imho

        This is true. You’ll also reach an impasse as you grow older and realize that it’s impossible to be morally and logically consistent. Like supporting that the minimum wage should be higher… but then you pay carpenters or maids what you can afford legally instead of what they deserve because you also have your own bills to worry about.

        Heck, I still watch my sports team despite having an anti-vaxxer/anti-semite and an owner that promotes NFTs and crypto (that actually ended up swindling fans).

          pagdating kasi sa min wage, itaas but also itaas in general yung wage upto mid class, where to get the money? tax the ultra rich.

          it’s unethical, na sa iilan lang yung yaman, na kahit sa kaapoapuhan di na nila kailangan magtrabaho sa grabe ng yaman.
