> People have no way of knowing where the things they buy come from

I don't know about other places and maybe I'm an outlier but I check everything for where it's produced / manufactured. Most if not all items in the US are required to have where the item was produced/manufactured. Some may say "Manufactured in the US with globally sourced material" makes it harder to pin down where each of the components originated from. Clothes and other items the country of origin is on the tag.

Sure, but if you’re trying to buy only goods that are produced in countries with good labor laws, you’ll starve.
