Slavery never left it just got rebranded.
The Thirteenth Amendment needs to be amended.
Per Wikipedia: The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. The amendment was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, by the House of Representatives on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865, and proclaimed on December 18, 1865. It was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted following the American Civil War.
According to the article, some of the companies who sell products that are made with slave labor include:
Guess I won’t be eating food any more
I’m gonna need something a bit more specific than Costco, Sam’s Club, Kroger, Walmart, and Target. Are you saying ALL products in those stores are from slave labor? Most? Some? A few obscure items?
I don’t really have any other options for groceries where I live.
That’s a good question for OP
Now is a very good time to become a subsistence farmer.
Good thing I don’t already need to spend all my time working
It’s just part of living in a corporate hellscape.
Thanks, I hate it
Your parents literally dont care what you think about the life they gave you. They got their dopamine, and they don’t give a shit.
Sorry about your childhood
I mean this is a very odd place for this comment, though I agree with the general sentiment and is why I won’t be having kids
I think it would be better to state the specific products rather than call out grocery stores at large. With this info I cant write a letter to Costco telling them I think they should drop a product and why
Some of the specific products and manufacturers are listed in the article.
Yeah. The fact that one of the products it Coke means it’s easier to name stores not on the list.
I love how there’s actual companies like Coke, Pepsi, McD’s, BK, Aldi, and then there’s Kellog’s Rice Krispies - Guess anything else Kellog’s is fine then.
Except if it’s from Aldi.
I have previously read that basically every Fortune 500 company has divisions that profit off of prison labor.
Fiduciary responsibility is the just following orders of capitalism.
Indeed it would be a dereliction of Duty for them not to Chisel everybody else down as much as possible to take a larger share. Seeing as the government is to corrupt to stop them as it is bound to do by law.

Who “sell” products? Which ones makes them?
