But the real problem is the combination of big business and big government. We live in a quasi Fascist failed state, but it seems few Americans have noticed.They work in tandem (consumerism and modern corporatism)
They depend on each other, neither can exist without the other.
You first need consumers who only care about price, and most definitely don't care where something is made. That demand creates and rewards globalist elites to invest in, essentially, slave labor to get the prices lower and lower.
So you have:
1) Modern corporatism/globalist who are willing to use basically slave labor to make products
2) Selfish, don't give a shit about anything but themselves American consumers.
And NEITHER is worse ethically or morally than the other.
Nothing more ironic and hypocritical than cart filling consumers complaining about wealth concentration/capitalism.
If our corrupt government was of by and for the people, this wouldn’t be happening.
