So, yeah, it is deplorable that kids are dying recycling toxic waste. #$%& happens. It's not a conspiracy, it's economics. The solution is not social reform, it's economic development. And there are no evil overlords, just harassed businessmen.

We agree on the facts. It's your socialist world view I deplore.

This has absolutely nothing to do with socialist world view. Take the example of the ships. The people that sail these ships on shore know exactly what happens. The only reason they keep doing it is because they can get away with it and because they don't give a s**t what happens to these children. And how would you as a consumer do something against this? Don't use anything that was ever transported by ship? (I am thinking free market that regulates its self here)
It is true, there are many bad things happening, so many that we often don't have time to solve all these things, but they are happening. It has also nothing to do with conspiracy, it is just simple crime possible because of vague international law (right). You know that usually these ships sail e.g. under the flag of some small middle american country, owned by eastern European holding which has it share holders form all over the world etc.,etc.

Dumping waste in eg lake Michigan was also a question of not having to pay for the recycling....and people kept doing it right until it was illegal and heavily enforced, but long after everybody knew how bad it was for our health. People are still dumping waste illegaly......when nobody saw you doing it it didn't happen right? The only problem is the vague laws and the absence of those laws.....but it is done 100% intentional.
