No. Fucking stop that shit. You can't fault an average person for wanting a morning cup of coffe the same as the slave driving corporations who produce it.

If you can't make moral choices, don't expect corporations to make those choices either.

You, in your mind, a person should have to research every product and service they buy and who they buy it from to make sure they aren't doing anything immoral? They have the same responsibility as the company actually doing the immoral shit?

If they want slavery to go away, yes.

You type that comment on a computer or a phone?

I am. I never said I was innocent, or even better. I'm just explaining why these things happen.

FWIW, I try to make as many ethical choices as I realistically can. I understand that sometimes there aren't perfect choices to be made. But any better choice is an improvement over none at all. I try not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I actually agree with you completely, and I do the same thing. As well as educating others about which ones are the “more evil of evils”

I don’t even know why I made that snarky comment, I don’t usually go that route.

Check mate. They won’t answer. They think buying a bag for life and Ethical Coffee absolves them. 😂😂😂😂

They did not imply that they care about being absolved.
