Do you hate all rich people?

69. Yep.

Who makes the fabric, who transports the fabric, what is the environmental cost of those activities, what are the externalities, what do the people who sew them get paid? What are working conditions like? Is their building safe? Do they have health care? Can they feed their families on what she pays them?

Here's the thing: people are entitled to make billions - but they also have a much greater responsibility to society than they are currently required to accommodate. You can't pretend that because your subcontractor subcontracted to someone else who is polluting a river with poisons that it's out of your hands, KWIM? And I'm willing to bet a lot that there isn't a billion dollar business out there that doesn't take advantage of poor people in some manner, at some level. It's not the person I hate - it's the system and if they aren't working to change the system, then they are a big part of the problem.
