Commiefornia the fooks!
Let's demand from our representatives that anything produced with slave labor must be labeled as such. Any government's involvement should be labeled as well! Make this happen!!!!
Edit: Just finished calling all the Florida Congress people!
Are you suggesting that the government create another department to monitor the ethicacy of production?
No, I am suggesting that shippers be forced to place a simple sticker that details product ties to slavery on the front in order to be sold in the US. Make the exporter do it, if they do not comply then we simply do not import that product. Easy peasy. If they think that slavery is ok they should be willing to advertise it. Free market, my man. Wide open.
And who is going to ensure that products are appropriately labeled? Who would you trust to apply this policy objectively and consistently?
The idea is fine. The question is how can it be satisfactorily implemented without further bloating government or involving some politicized group.
I think I rather like the idea of the current administration worrying about that. If slavery is already being dealt with world wide as I believe it is this would just be a friendly reminder to those in power that we support any measures to ensure events such as current do not happen again.
