Property Is Theft

The fucking nerve of corporate Nazis (As in: "Asia's slave-lords" two items down.):
An international agreement to improve safety in Bangladesh's clothing factories is facing the threat of legal action as factory owners demand compensation for the cost of closures and repair work.

With some repair programmes expected to take months, factory owners say they cannot shoulder the costs of paying staff while factories are closed, alongside the expense of some major works needed to ensure buildings are safe. The building overhauls are being carried out in the wake of the collapse of the Rana Plaza complex in Dhaka last year, in which 1,138 people were killed.

[...]

"This was always going to be a topic of negotation. [sic fucks] Brands don't want to commit to paying so that rich factory owners who have just pocketed the profits and not been spending on their factories for years continue to do so. There was obviously going to be disruption, if there was no disruption there would be not [sic again] change," she said.
Oh, too damn bad, sorry not sorry, die pigs! In a truly free market democracy "rich factory owners" would be hanging from gibbets, Mussolini-style, until the buzzards/vultures have picked their bones clean.
Solution to this mess? Stop wearing ugly mass-produced-by-slave-labor clothes, conformist sheep!!

I could buy a $15.00 shirt at Costco or a $75.00 shirt at Macy's and still have no idea if they were made with slave labor.
Best guess is, of course, yes.

Hell, even if you made your own clothes you probably couldn't get fabric that wasn't woven by workers forced to live in barracks.
