>>>I make (and spend) about $3000 a year... how much of that goes to supporting labor conditions in China?

Their record on humam rights.

Why do you choose the 1%?


> Fact is that you can manage on $3000/year because others are exploited to hold your costs down.

Are we operating on the assumption that my $3000 has an equal impact as someone else's $60K, but someone else's $60K has less of an impact than yet another's $6M?


> Also consider that there are other nations where there is no food production exploitation. You could try moving there to practice as you preach, but then you'd struggle to live on $3K/annum. Alternatively you could move to the third world and live comfortably (at least compared to your neighbours) without needing even $3K.

Or I could just do what I do, make good decisions on where my food comes from, and occasionally point out the baseless assumption that if the 0.5% just let us have more money, we would spend it making the world a better place rather than perpetuate the status quo.
