I didn’t want to “like” this post, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not extremely appreciative of your reminding me. This was a terrible, preventable tragedy. I hope the world is working to prevent another one.
Thank you.

Yes, I agree! I am not an expert in world affairs, economics, etc. but what is obvious is people must not be exploited, they must be kept safe!

Linda, thanks for the reminder. A (former) friend was on the board of directors for a clothing company. They moved their factory from Pakistan to Bangladesh because it was cheaper. Instead of paying workers 52 cents/ hour, they paid them 24 cents. Unbelievably exploitive.
