OK I guess you’re right…even if all the a working environment meets all the criteria of a sweatshop, but is slightly better than the norm it negates the fact that people are working in poor/unsafe environments and are paid only a few dollars/day…you are a genius.

I will somewhat agree with you on the second point…but I don’t think it is as easy as some people make it. We live in a country where the gvt loves to give handouts. I do think though a lot of people accept things too easily though.
