Warning: Christian values on this document (not in the following video), might be important to international regulation. Reminder I am not the person on the following videos or affiliated with the media agencies that released them, I do support their cause of less child labor and human rights abuses.
Child labor and people buried alive is disturbing. Higher price than I want to pay for phones and gains in electronics. That said large scale divestment might lead to greater poverty and instability that could fuel violence in the region. All this from a non-expert, a Christian that is trying to approach proximity of perfection (yet feels far from it much of the time).
Golden Rule – miner dies from pursuit of a better life followed by that miner’s children entering the mine to better? Wouldn’t want it for my family, would like to see better for theirs.
On a note closer to home (I am posting from USA) homeless is up and it is heart breaking.
Citizens bail out banks in 2008 – maybe I don’t understand finances yet seems like citizens invest yet don’t seem to get the same potential for staying off the street redistributed to them at a later date.
I am in Dallas, TX close to Richardson – there are homeless tents up not 1000 feet from where I am currently. Problem is real, potentially not fully acknowledged.
Christianity and Luke 6, give to any man that asks of you? Christ is telling people to have their personal bank account absorb the hardship of all those tents to a better life? Golden Rule I wouldn’t want to be left on the street, especially in winter – that said my bank account is not sufficient for that.
When I was homeless in Dallas, TX (start of 2025 when it was snowing) I went to Home – Austin Street Center, had tried The Bridge but there were not enough spots. Once the weather was less cold and freezing the facility (Austin Street Center) said it had to close. Not sure if it was FEMA or not. Thought I saw a FEMA cot but might have been mistaken.
