    Ah so you’re in the USA. Just be aware, I watched a documentary where (Chinese) workers were trapped on a (Chinese) boat near the Galapagos, and they are essentially prisoners. And just like ours, they earned money too.

      Gave it a watch. Interesting video. The part about the conditions the people on the ship faced was horrific. I feel like I’m missing a connection though.

      Tell me if I’m missing something but they were kept their by Chinese companies right? Is the Chinese government involved too?

      Damn so the same thing but just not to the same extent then. Well I guess they’re just a lesser evil then 😮‍💨

      Appreciate the vid, I plan to watch it later.
