    Huge difference between not being able to afford the right thing, and being able to afford the right thing and instead investing in the really bad thing.

    Kind of like how I have to gas up but I would never invest in the oil industry.

      But there are non slave alternatives all over. For the price conscious, there are thrift shops, facebook marketplace etc. Otherwise, there’s tons of ethical clothing available online and if you live in a city, probably in some stores near You.

        I agree and I think there isn’t much of an effort being made, but investing in it seems like it’s making an effort in the wrong direction.
