exploiting slave labor so you can prove how patriotic you are, just like jesus would do. we’ll take coffee from the 3rd world, but not the people who live there
Just a few examples: Bolivia has universal healthcare for all citizens. The US does not. Bolivia has a minimum 10-30 days of annual leave mandated by law (depending on how long you’ve worked), the US has 0. Bolivia has 13 weeks of maternity leave at 95% pay, the US has… well it’s complicated.
This thread seems to be about right-wing Americans getting their “non-woke” coffee from Bolivia so that’s what I used for my comparison.
But sure, let’s compare it to Europe:
Bolivia has universal healthcare, similar to most European countries. No idea about the quality of course.
Annual leave gets a bit complicated to compare. For the first five years, it’s a minimum of 10 days, that’s not much indeed. The lowest in Europe (though non-EU) seems to be Turkey with 14 days for the first five years. For years 5-10, it’s a minimum of 20 days, about the same as much of Europe. After 10 years, it goes up to a minimum of 30 days which is actually more than most European countries have as mandatory leave (though for example in Germany, many companies offer 30 days instead of the required 20 as a common perk).
Maternity leave is similar to the lower end of Europe, For comparison, Germany has 14 weeks at 100% pay.
Overall: not perfect but also not bad for a relatively small country in South America with a GDP that’s way lower than most of Europe.
Yeah, I know. I wanted to err on the side of caution. I could have said “The US has 0” but didn’t want someone to show up with “well actually in my state…”

I mean, Bolivia has a socialist President, so chances are the workers aren’t actually as exploited as they could be elsewhere.
Not sure how that limits exploitation.

Who cares what the USA has? They voted Trump. Look at the EU, Japan, …

Plus we all know what happens to South American countries who get a little too left / helpful to workers
Jack shit. If it’s not federal, it’s not something the US has

Do they know that brown people touch their coffee? I don’t know but that diversity bullshit sounds pretty woke to me
