It's odd how we blame the market mechanism but not the people that "don't give a damn".

Ironically, it's almost as if you (the person complaining about the market mechanism) don't want to boycot those people that don't give a damn. It's inconvenient isn't it? Imagine having to shun your friend, kick out your tenant or fire your employee because they wore a slave-labour Nike shoe. It's much easier to blame a market mechanism.

We can only control ourselves and alas, we are the minority. So blaming everyone else is pointless.

Blaming a system that we can regulate and allows companies to get away with shady practices sounds way more reasonable to me.
