    If you’re worried about these children losing their wonderful life in the mines, feel free to support them through other means.

    Make it your life’s work to spread awareness, bring aid to the affected countries, and support their development - you only enslave yourself by learning to do absolutely nothing against what you see as oppressive.

    And getting companies that profit off of these children to support them would likely be fair. Apple, Google, and many others can handle the hit.

      Let’s not buy their products and see the 3rd world underpaid workforce get fired and die out of hunger. That will solve all the world problems

      That was your solution. Exceedingly bright in a true internet way

        When you put it that way, I guess we better hand over thousands every year to Apple for the new iPhone. Wouldn’t want a child slave to be unemployed.

        Buy 10,000 disposable vapes every year while you’re at it (if you really care). Maybe a couple cents will trickle down to the children you claim to care about.

          You jest but it is actually how it works. If you stop buying they will die.
