19. "I really have to defend the Badu team here" In response to In response to 18
I agree with most of what's been said in this entire post. I wish that more things had been in the store much earlier (and it sounds like more is coming soon). BUT: COME ON PEOPLE, we're not in sweatshop conditions. It is important to think about the work you've done and what you deserve for it. HOWEVER, it is completely diminishing to the people who do work in sweatshops who make most of the things that you probably use in your daily life. Think about it: the alarm clock you wake up to. your bed. bedding. where was your breakfast food produced and in what conditions? what about the clothes you wear? I guarantee that we are not going through the emotional and physical pains that it takes to work in a sweatshop, maquiladora or farms in our fancorps street team work. In fact, there were 4 farmworkers in California this summer who died of over-exposure to heat. WE ARE NOT IN A SWEATSHOP.
Peace and I'd love to start a conversation about this if y'all want...q
