“Toxic
Capitalism” at work. Consumers are happy around the world to buy all the cheap stuff from countries such as Bangladesh, ignoring where and
how it was made, then criticize the horrible conditions. The companies involved strike it rich while the workers suffer, or worse, perish.
Once more hypocrisy from the West as long as they do not enforce the due diligence of the complete supply chain. The horrors will not stop as
long as the West does not change its habits of over-consumption and not paying a fair price for durable goods. Shop till you drop and waste
our planet. Never mind the workers in Bangladesh, China etc.
