Let's not pretend Amazon and big box stores don't also sell cheap chinese products.

@DistroyTheDecoy actually you can't just look at the ratings anymore. I noticed a while ago that many 5 star reviews actually had negative things written, and no way would people type all that negative stuff out and then give a 5 star rating. Amazon is changing the star value people give products to boost the rating score. Now, if you truly want to know what a product will be like, you have to go to the reviews, sort by one star, and look at all the lowest star ratings. That's where you'll learn what the product really is.

@heathervandewalle8954 I actually saw some stuff about Canning. That might be worth looking into because of changes in how products are made. Including the stuff people use to can their food.

@metternich05 we think that, but the truth is these companies contract the work put to many different manufacturers that we have no way of overseeing the quality or processes of. That's why so many companies have been caught using slave and child labor, and every time they just go "🤷‍♀️ Well, we didn't know, it was a contracted factory that did xyz." We think these companies are overseeing quality and such, but they aren't. They're contracting the work out to factories staffed by children and people paid slave wages.

@timwalkerfukyt That's not a good attitude to have. We shouldn't just allow people to use up the resources we have on this Earth to make tons and tons of products that don't work or that make people sick. We have regulations for a reason, and countries like China need to get with the program or be banned from selling their products here.

@sirlonnaldii9110 the point was "don't shop fast fashion because it uses cheap/slave labor and cheap materials. But that's literally everyone. Even expensive brands are made in the same factories by the same labor force. There is no escaping this unless we completely stop buying products from entire countries.

@la6136 you think that, but it's not true. There are no regulatory boards checking these products until AFTER they cause illness or death. All these companies are using the same factories with the same cheap or slave labor. Even the expensive ones. And a lot of things "made in America" are also made with cheap and slave labor. One of the reasons our prison population is so large is that they're a source of free labor for American companies. They no longer work to better society when they're in prison. They work for corporate America for pennies an hour while all their needs are marked up exponentially, think soap, toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, etc. And no, those things are not provided by the prison. Prisoners have to pay way more for these cheap items than anyone else would pay for them.

@StardustLegacyFighter babe, people buy things in bulk on Temu and Shein and then charge you 5x-10x more for it on Amazon, Walmart, etc. You ARE buying the same quality if you're buying from Amazon, Walmart, Target, Meijer, etc. I've seen seeing clothes on the rack in Platos Closet, and they're the exact same quality (or better) than the Walmart No Boundaries brand. You are not escaping buying these cheap products if you shop at any normal store. And most high end stores make their products in the same factories.

@BrotherHood-xh9sg what standards do you think they have to meet?

@metternich05 those top brands are made in the exact same factories as the noname brands. Just so you know.
