Trump is bad. I agree… but why is the left suddenly all sympathetic towards rich people & CEOs like this, who exploit cheap labor.

    Do you complain to people without a house about losing yours due to not being able to exploit cheap labor from other countries, especially ones with terrible labor practices overall?

      I feel like you didn’t read the article you posted.

      At what point is she exploiting cheap labor?

      She used china because she needed production runs of less than 10% of the minimums American factories required. There were already tariffs on raw silicon. Man I don’t junk you read the article.

        It’s a nice dream to be able to start a small business, pay fair wages, use eco-friendly materials, source locally, pay yourself a shit salary to keep costs low, and not have any other backers hounding you to turn a profit at any cost. But that’s what it is, a dream. You gotta start somewhere, somehow and hope you don’t lose your soul along the journey.

          Have you seen how big the busy baby is? Your link doesn’t have the mold volume needed for the bib. For the utensils? Sure. But the utensils without the bib is pretty pointless.

          Perhaps you should reach out to her and let her know that she can produce in the US? Have you done that since you’re so concerned about her grift? You’d be able to get proof she’s a real proof of shit. Of course you’ll need to provide capital since hers is gone and you’ll want to make sure to get all of her quote history since she didn’t do her research. She’s so clearly lying and you’re the only one who can tell the truth.

            No they’re not & I’m also not going on TV complaining about how I might lose farmhouse without being able to exploit cheap labor. Then having a bunch of lefties sharing it online acting like this proves Trump hates the average person.
