“Nestle says slavery reporting requirements could cost customers.”

Not to be a joyless communist, but if we can’t have chocolate without slavery, we shouldn’t have chocolate.

Nestle says slavery reporting requirements could cost customers

Australia's government has proposed to make it mandatory for big businesses to report on how they're combating modern slavery.

The Sydney Morning Herald

@bitbear I'd love to see what the world economy would look like if we made "adjustment for modern slavery" in the same fashion we do adjustments for inflation to talk about historical prices.

The world's selling a lie to the people. Even if it wasn't socialism, how could people even know if they can envision a better system if they already believe the current one works way better than it actually does?

@arielcajar Good question. The current system is gamed, rigged and broken — that’s for sure.
