Ever have a rough afternoon at work? Bad traffic jam on the way in got you down? Spilled your Starbucks on your shirt in the lobby? Ever have one of those Friday afternoon's where you just didn't want to be at work?
Did you work suffer at this time? Did you feel a little apathetic about the quality of your product?
Well imagine if you lived in Communist China, under an authoritarian, communist, and socialist, with heavy restrictions remaining in many areas, most notably in the Internet and in the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of reproductive rights, and freedom of religion. Imagine if you were 10 years old and lived well below the US poverty line. Do you think you would really care about what some American that you will never meet that lives 6000 miles away feeds to his dog???
China's food- and drug-safety record has come under scrutiny in recent months following the deaths of cats and dogs in the United States and Canada blamed on tainted Chinese pet food ingredients. Since then, U.S. inspectors have banned or turned away a growing number of Chinese exports - from monkfish to juice to toothpaste - because they contained life-threatening levels of toxins or unsafe chemicals.
If you pay slaves slave wages you shouldn't be surprised when you get a shitty product unloaded at your local dock!
Boycott China Already!
