I just wonder how much of the high quality of life in the west is built on plentiful cheap labor in the rest of the world.
Not from State Farm. Sorry to disappoint. I’m just a half-Iranian American exploring the fediverse. I am interested in science, tech, philosophy, animals, comedy, a wide range of music, and even politics. Though the politics in my country are plain depressing atm.

If it becomes universal and is irreversible, then yes it would be a bad thing. The issue with the wild life annihilation is that it is occurring in the poorest parts of the world. What do we do to stop them? Invade, order them to just stay poor? Import the world’s poorest into the wealthiest countries? Mass sterilization of the poor? All of those sound fascist AF.
Jesus, even Finland is being caught using slave labor. It feels like modern moral values are built on lies.
