22. That is heart-breaking! There has to be a global movement to boycott these Corporations

because not enough is being done to expose the sheer criminality of the lengths they will go to to make a profit.

We know Congress will never take the necessary steps to punish US Corps who engage in the use of desperate people overseas to make obscene profits for themselves.

Efforts have been made in the past when a few people introduced bills to try to regulate standards for US Corps who use overseas factories. Cynthia McKinney, eg, introduced a bill which would have forced US Corporations to at least abide by the labor standards of this country or suffer the same consequences there they would here if they didn't. Fines, removal of subsidies and any tax breaks they get. It got nowhere of course.

The fix really is simple, US Corps should have to abide by US standards at least. And no Corp. that takes its business overseas should get any tax breaks or other benefits at all. We all know what the standards are in third world countries. Anyone who deliberately takes advantage of them, should go move there and not expect this country to be complicit in this crime against humanity.

How many more people will have to die before something is done I wonder?

Thanks for the thread, cali. I think if more people fully understood the conditions under which the products they buy are made, fewer would buy them. But most people don't have a clue, thanks to our wonderful media.
