I still don't believe the TEMU bit though

I like how one person said they don't use child labour because they are inefficient. If they were efficient though ...

I totally believe child labour is inefficient.

I also believe it's cheap and capitalism doesn't care.

Honestly, I don't even believe it's inefficient. There's plenty of documented/recorded evidence of child labor around the world. Sometimes, all you really need is a pair of hands, and kids are physically capable of doing it. Countries with shitty labor laws are ripe with child labor abuse.

True. Kids were sent up chimneys to clean because it was more efficient.

TBH I expect it to be the same as everywhere where there are a lot of people with imperfect oversight.

There is going to be some children working just like in the southern US.

Why? You just assume TEMU uses child labour because... vibes?
