No shit they need to stop it. Do you or I have a choice in making that happen?

Short of a nationwide labor strike in every industry in both nations, no one citizen exactly has the power to make this stop, and all the legal avenues to make it stop are denied by both governments.

I love it when people complain shit needs to get done when there is no legal avenue to getting it done. Cool, what’s your plan chucklefuck?

They both suck because they fucking do. Part of the reason they do is that there is no recourse for regular citizens to stop this kind of thing from happening except boycotts and labor strikes. Boycotts do fuck-all because they’re busy selling the fruits of their forced labor to the rest of the planet, meaning they won’t lose enough money from the boycott to impact them. Meaning only labor strikes have meaningful impact.
