Is there a non-paywall link?

“I buy from companies who most closely match my ethics” is virtue signaling, now?"

That’s well said. And good on you for sticking to your guns. You are 100% right. I think if you can afford to avoid these companies you should.

Pretty much anything that you’ve ever owned has been made from the exploitation of some working class somewhere. The clothes you wear. The house you live in. The electronics that you use. The furniture that you own. The very food you eat and drink is often cheap because of an exploited worker somewhere that’s paid pennies on the dollar. Your going to draw the line at a drastically cheaper car that’s leaps and bounds better for the environment than a petrol vehicle? Okay.
