Sure. People go for the cheapest option that fits their requirements, mostly.

But we’re the shoemakers, not the consumers. It’s actually our job to preserve our own and our peers quality of life.

Cheapest good option possible doesn’t have to be the sweatshop - tho the shareholders of nike or zara would have you believe that - the labor movements of the 19th century proved that’s not the case.

It is our job to keep our job, or leave if we don't agree with management, assuming to be lucky when there is an option to walk out and start anew right on the other side of the street.

This is what is sometimes called a “crabs in a bucket” mentality. It’s how you go from a middle class weaver, to an impoverished sweatshop worker in a generation.
