Paying for quality is not cheap, until you see the expensive product is made in China. The labor's cheaper, & more $ into the manufacturers pockets, but not good news for the consumer. It's a lie about quality insurance. Would you think cheaper service will offer higher quality than costly service? Workers are underpaid for the work they do which effects craftsmanship. Of course there are hard workers trying to make a living, but not under these circumstances. I'm not defending with the way things are now because it's not a good thing. I don't want cheap plastic anymore in my high end products. Plastic is trash, & should be used under discretion~

thank you so much for addressing this issue. I think journalists are trying to inform what's happening, and I know of some reforms that are intended towards giving the workers better human rights, but the matter of fact is, not enough is being done for a really good change to happen. I know there might be a whole range of reasons why even trying isn't enough, because somewhere down the line someone stops trying. I think this issue has a lot to do with Capitalism and IMF and currencies, I would like to know your opinion/knowledge you've acquired on that matter, and if you could make a video like this about the IMF, it would be lit coz I have watched 2 documentaries on money, one on how it was created and the other on capitalism, and both are too long, so my friends don't wanna watch it, and when I explain, I don't do a very good job. thanks again. keep up ur good work!

Great video. The sad thing is that most people more or less are aware of the situation but still choose to look away cause its more comfortable. Therefore nothing really changes. As a customer the only thing you can do is to educate yourself on the products you plan to buy. I would rather pay a significant extra charge for a product where I know everyone who worked for it gets paid properly instead of buying a cheaper product where above can't be granted. I also try to support local companies who have their production nearby even though these are rare.

I will say I was sicken by this when I first learned of this in my high school Economics class I almost want to scream the ( monkey sound) ! I will support this bull(monkey sound) !!!! But a online college ad said” if you are sick by this and you want to help these people out, let them sell you their stuff and help grow the economy and maybe just maybe help people get out of this nightmare.” I understand that, but I still won’t feel any less sick thinking of this cheap/ unethically made workers labor. I hope you all do well today and take care everyone and stay safe out there!

It's partially true. They earn their living through their trade but they should be paid far better than what they are now to make a decent impact. There are clothing brands, such as Everlane, which cost more but are better made so they don't end up in landfill as quickly AND are transparent about working conditions and they work with factories with high safety standard and wages. These companies should be the norm.

but economically speaking, those people that chose to work in sweatshops voluntarily chose so because doing that makes them better off than the next thing they could've done. No rational person would trade their labour and time for something that would leave them worse off. This is only meant to be a phase like in the industrial revolution where people are paid peanuts. However, it's being prolonged due to the Chinese govt artificially devaluing their currency to stay on top of exports

If the us focused on quality such as deming did with Japan then we would have higher quality products that are still cheap the problem is that most companies do not focus on quality but quantity trying to gain market share while being cheap an example would be Samsung which seeks market share over their margins and would sell at a loss to compete against apple the reason it can do this is because it is chologopoly and has the full backing of South Korea usually through corruption however the reason globalization doesn't work is that their is no level playing field whoever is cheapest and can do the same job that you can gets the job however the amount is so low that they have no hope of being a consumer of what they produce even with reduced prices this means that when prices go down it's because costs are down usually at the expense of employee pay this situation though is untameable as the consumer base will get smaller because their are fewer consumers who can buy the product that you are selling aka no middle class jobs no Middle class consumers which means who are you going to sell your product to your employees can't afford it your rich friends don't want it and your left with huge supply that nobody wants so you literally have to pay people usually employees to buy it just as ford did which makes it more or less a subsidy to have the desired market that you want
