Thread for obviously newsworthy stuff

[Kidlicious]

The fact still remains that, if you accuse Nike of exploiting the workers in asian countries by having them produce stuff at minimal wages,
you have to accuse the Trump clan of doing the same thing, as almost all of the Trumps fashion collection (both, of Donnie as well es Ivanka) gets produced in asian countries (and surely not because the stuff produced there is superior, but rather for the sole reason of cheap labor costs)

MAGA ... Make Asia Great Again

And since Nike is obviously a virtue signaling corporation so us Kapernick (just a virtue signaler that realized that he can't cut it as an NFL quarterback).

On this rare occasion, he isn't lying
From the NEW YORK TIMES

Under the changes agreed to by Mexico and the United States, car companies would be required to manufacture at least 75 percent of an automobile’s value in North America under the new rules, up from 62.5 percent, to qualify for Nafta’s zero tariffs. They will also be required to use more local steel, aluminum and auto parts, and have 40 to 45 percent of the car made by workers earning at least $16 an hour, a boon to both the United States and Canada and a win for labor unions, which have been among Nafta’s biggest critics.

Now, whether the deal ever gets done, and whether this is still in it after that, who knows.
But it part of the deal they are currently working on

So I think that now makes the score
Kidiot not lying 1
Kidiot lying or making stuff up 1,000,000

So the bad man... men, actually... hurt your butt.

I'm so sorry. Where else... and you can show us by pointing to the doll... where else did these very bad men hurt you?

You’re right (other than only caring because it hurts Americans, and the absurd insertion of POC into it), Trump is an evil douchebag for exploiting workers overseas.

Ridiculous. If corporations stopped exploiting third world workers it would MAGA.

If it's not reported by CNN and VOX and you won't believe it from other sources even though you have no evidence of them lying then you have a very serious mental issue.

No it just means you made it up again and are lying. You don't know what that trade "deal" says.

[Aeson]

Nope, just think corporations like Nike exploiting POC in other countries is bad for POC in America

Source?
(and please a reliable news source and not a rightwing satirical/opinion website like Breitbart)

Also, when you say that "... requires some of their exports to be built at a minimum wage",
do you mean that the workers (who build the exports) receive said minimum wage or higher,
or do you mean that the workers should receive the minimum wage and not a cent more?

Ask a better question. How many workers are paid that

[Proteus_MST]

Is that why the new Trump trade deal with Mexico requires some of their exports to be built at a minimum wage?

Ask the NFL

Well the new GOP isn’t like the old one ... Kid’s GOP thinks it’s fine if an American has a ****ty job just so long as foreigners don’t have any jobs, except for making Trump branded merchandise.

Nope, just think corporations like Nike exploiting POC in other countries is bad for POC in America

[Kidlicious]

Well, AFAIK it is the GOP who is opposed to minimum wages,
so, to use your own arguments against them: At least the woman has a job, which she wouldn't have if minimum wages would be introduced

So, are conservative Americans burning their Nike products to protest the $1.40 per day Nike pays their 14 year old staff in Indonesia? I guess the GOP want those $1.40 per day jobs stateside... How many states have no minimum wage?

They are burning them because its against Trumpism and not made in uh'merica like Trumps MAGA hats... Oh wait lol...
