How did they get so cheap? By being made in China and other low-wage countries? Reply to this comment
Yep…there’s nothin’ like a good ol Chinese sweatshop to crank out top quality clothing. Buck an a half an hour for a twelve hour day and no union grumbling or Osha complaints either. Reply to this comment
Sweatshops get kicked around a lot, but they still pay better than other options, like farming and slaughterhouse work. Or so I infer, because people aren’t quitting sweatshops in droves to work in cushy, high-paying union jobs. Reply to this comment
