Coffee, tea, and everything you're wearing right now.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago

A ton of parts of what you are driving, all your maga hats, a ton of stuff that's in your house

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Your mom wears maga hats.

Oh no, but I need to buy a new buttplug every day!

Wait, I'm not American, nvm.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Most buttplugs can be washed. Just a money-saving tip for you there.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Nah, it's not about single-use, it's about the collection. You can't take some og the rare ones out of their original packaging or they lose value!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I hear it's all about the blind box butt plugs today. That way you have to keep buying them and getting duplicates until you get a rare one.

Much of that is cotton. I believe that in the "good" ol' days the US grew that themselves. Start that industry up again, and you don't need mass deportations across the border.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 25 points 1 month ago

You could even run the farms the same way as in the olden days, if you criminalize and incarcarate enough black people.

[-] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

I mean, that's how cotton is produced nowadays too, except Uyghurs are the ones doing it.

[-] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Well boy howdy, it turns out we already been done doin that there part about criminalizing and incarcerating them black people just out of sheer racism. You're telling me that there could've been a profit motive to it this whole time too?

jk, private contracted prisons were already profiting deeply off of that.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I thought you were already doing that...

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago

Ah, yes...

All we need to keep that industry running like the good ol' days is a massive industry of government subsidized illegal immigration of easily identified persons

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

The US still makes massive amounts of cotton. That all gets exported to other countries before getting turned into garments and things.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Yea, and I hear children's tiny hands are perfect for picking it.

[-] Kalysta@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Cotton takes a LOT of water to grow. And takes up farmland that could grow food.

Most of your clothes are artificial fabrics these days. Or blended

[-] Eiri@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

I wanted some foreign goods to get more expensive. To end slavery, not to escalate a trade war!

I should have checked my vicinity for any stray monkey's paws when I made that wish.

“Fair Trade” is what you’re looking for. I don’t know how legit all instances are or whether they make a real difference, but its an attempt

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

This may sound pedantic, but you're looking for Fairtrade (one word) for the organization with the strictest vetting standards. Fair Trade (two words) isn't regulated and just means they follow some sort of ethical code. It's not necessarily bad, but it warrants more product specific research.

[-] neomachino@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Huh I wonder how many Fair Trade items I bought thinking they were Fairtrade. Thanks.
