Uplift labor and human rights movements everywhere so they can retain self-determination but still extinguish the hellscape of exploitation that we have currently.

We don't need anything top-down.

I understand there would be challenges with doing that, but I like to think a better world is possible and it starts with respecting others' humanity.




The no further regulation option is people looking for the “made in …” on goods and not buying from certain countries. Then invoke Milton freedman.


I'm not interest in a "no further regulation" option. I just don't think anyone in our country should dictate what other countries do. That's what I meant by top-down.

If other countries want regulations and labor rights, hell yeah.


"Uplift labor ... movements "

You can't do that if there are no jobs. And 10 dollars a day is hell of a job in those places.


But there are jobs there now. So uplifting labor movements now will have an impact.

If we do this across the board, shitty companies will eventually run out of humans to exploit.
