      Not sure who the “we” in this situation is, but I’m not demanding anything from them. They’re selling shit and I’m buying. I’m not demanding products from them.

        consumers are responsible for what they consume. pay and forget doesn’t work

          You said “we demand money”, that’s what I’m replying to. I (nor you in the comment I was replying to) didn’t say anything about responsibility.

      This is the opposite of outsourcing labor.

          None of this has anything to do with outsourcing labor other than that you’ll have way more dollars than if you were a subsistence farmer.

            outsourcing labor

            if americans are using their time to find the cure for cancer someone has to produce food, someone has to mine the copper, someone has to etc… exploitation, the outsourcing of exploitation is a given in a capitalist system. if you are a subsistence farmer no cure for cancer for you in a capitalist system.
