Relying on slave labor from Xinjiang isn't worth saving a few bucks on a tshirt

Edit: there's also all the toxic chemicals from lack of regulation https://healthnews.com/news/chemicals-childrens-clothing-shein/

Right, only approved slave labor is okay. I'm not fans of either, but I'm not going to kid myself that this decision isn't anything less than protecting corporate interests. Neither is ethical, but one is both overpriced and has regulators in their pockets.
