Overpopulation and the opening of many country's labor markets pushed down wages globally, the reduction of tariffs has seen these low wages get exploited by multi-national corporations for profit, and in the end the consumer overpays, lines the pockets of millionaires and billionaires, wears it a few times and tosses it out, adding to the tons of waste in energy, resources and man-hours necessary to sustain this terrible business model. We should consume in a way that is aligned with a healthy, sustainable growth of our planet and peoples or we will all share the same sad fate.
