CAIRO, May 28 (Reuters) - Israeli tanks shelled a tent camp in an evacuation area west of Rafah and killed at least 21 people on Tuesday, Gaza health authorities said, while advancing to the heart of the southern Gaza city for the first time after a night of heavy bombardment.

I don’t want to be fatalistic, but I honestly do not know how consumers would realistically be able remove child labor from the global supply chain. I don’t think companies are even able to do that. Because it’s not necessarily them doing the child labor, it’s the people who sell the stuff that is made to sell to another company which assembles it to the final company which can credibly say it doesn’t use child labor because it’s two steps from that. How do you fix that?
And if consumers care enough, the corporations will care.
I honestly do not believe that is true at this point. Corporations that lose money just get bought up by private equity firms and bled dry, so they do anything they possibly can to cut corners. Either way, the C-suite execs have a golden parachute. They’re just too powerful. We would need a complete societal shift for something like this and that’s asking a lot. I would love for it to happen, but I just don’t see it happening in my lifetime except in some sort of really horrible way like everything collapses.
Sure, try all you want. I’m just saying you’ll never get child labor out of the supply chain without a global societal shift. You might be able to lessen it, but you won’t get it out of the supply chain. Lessening it isn’t bad, just don’t expect it to be gone.
You showed me an article that speculates about how it might grow in the future
Which is what we are obviously talking about when talking about reaching a military objective.
I am tired of your blatant dishonesty. This has all been about justifying Israeli genocide and I wish you had just been honest about that from the start.
Thanks. I was going to come in to burst that bubble. A ton of Americans were totally sympathetic to fascists until we went to war with Germany and it became unfashionable. But they didn’t change their politics, they just didn’t call it fascism anymore.
Notice America didn’t have a problem with Franco and you didn’t hear a lot of Americans denouncing him since he wasn’t part of the Axis powers.
