Comment on Chinese people flood TikTok with videos urging Americans to buy direct amid Trump tariffs
Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoAfaik french haute couture shit (like Vuitton) really don’t. They’d rather play with all the grey areas of the law of various European countries to buy their leather from some factories in Italy where work safety standards are seen as more of guidelines than rules and they illegally employ immigrants to pay them the shittiest salary possible. Then get that shit to France and pay someone a pittance to make the bag even though it’s very tedious and precise work, so you can say it was made in France with European leather.

Basic dignity will always be at odds with profit motive. We need eternal vigilance and working class solidarity to keep capitalism in check
