1. ""How dare they"" is absolutely right.

The colonial holdings of former slave economies have always been so useful in producing groceries and luxuries like fruit and tobacco for European customers and citizens, and it has never been important to them to protect the people who are doing the hard work to get it all to them, since they remain untouched by both hard work and by chemicals they order for the crops.

Clearly it appears the cheap labor pools don't matter any more to them than the earlier slaves. They believe they can always be replaced for next to nothing.

Makes you wonder if this world is worth saving. Looks like there are more monsters than there are victims, sometimes. So many jerks are enjoying the benefits of the imprisoned (by poverty) workers, each one forced to do the work of several humans just to receive his/her shameful pittance.

Dangerous exposure to chemicals ONLY happens around impoverished people who have no way to escape, no way out.
