gotta love living in a world where paying more for a product is unethical because you're wasting extra money they could go into helping others & yourself but also paying less for something is unethical because it definitely means there were labor violations and slavery used in the making of the product. but also the more expensive products were also likely also produced by slave/child/underpaid labor

#we all know that paying more for a phone doesn't mean it was made more ethically #it's honestly the same with a lot of name brand clothes #i have to take what i can afford or have nothing at all #you have to have a lot of energy to scrounge around thrift stores and online marketplaces to get every single thing you want #and not only do i only make 784 a month but unfortunately #im physically disabled and my other disorders make it even harder to have to go somewhere and deal w strangers every time i make a purchase #it wouldn't be as much as a problem if the stores were closer and smaller and i was familiar with everyone #and had ppl who were able to go shopping for me every now and then #but this is what i'm forced to fucking do under capitalism!#so glad i get to look at all my comfort items and know that someone else bled for them #.bdo
