And as a result you get monopolies like TooBigTech and you can't compete anyway.
replyIf a business can't be profitable while treating employees, customers, and the environment well, then it going out of business or leaving is not a loss.
replyIs that a justification for resuming slavery, child labour and dumping chemicals in our rivers?
replyPretty sure you can oppose slavery and support what GP said without significant cognitive dissonance
replyNot really. It's a race to the bottom.
replyMany options.
replyOption 1: “we won’t trade humans as slaves at all costs, even if it makes us less competitive in the global market - and we don’t hold that conviction about other things”
Option 2: “We won’t trade slaves - and if we find you trading slaves we will kill you. So we don’t have to worry about competing against slaves in the global marketplace.”
Option 3: “slavery is less efficient than having the same people as market participants - so I don’t consider giving up slaves to be less competitive”
Many more options, and mixtures of any or all of them.
