“Cheap” is expensive. Purchasing decisions have power and consequenc­es. When what we buy is made overseas, frequently by exploited people working in sweatshop conditions, we not only encourage those practices and deny our neighbors badly needed opportunit­y, we also tacitly go along with countries whose rules and regulation­s are not up to our standards as they continue to ignore fair labor practices and violate basic human rights. We have very little say in what happens beyond our borders, except when we speak with our pocketbook­s.
