That sounds like when Clinton was arguing that paying the workers in (Haiti?) better would ackshually hurt them because the businesses would flee to cheaper places…
Should we really maintain toxic systems because they have one positive benefit?
I would argue that sifting through piles of rubbish is not a positive benefit :/
There’s several African countries that have straight banned shipments of clothing to them. Those shipments destroyed the booming local textile industries they had, and that they are trying to rebuild. Textile industries are the key and first step to bootstrap industrialization, as understood in Europe (see the start of it in England, and how the automation helped and fed back on itself).
If you think globalization is not a yoke, I don’t know what to tell you… The global rich north needs a poor south to exploit or the system isn’t profitable for them.
This isn’t that uplifting if you know just how much donations of used clothing harms developing countries and actually like the planet we all share.

That’s interesting thank you for taking the time to explain.
