    it’s just being cheap. People want cheap stuff, they produce cheap stuff. Using toxic processes or fewer checks makes things cheap

      I agree. But a lot of the non-cheap stuff is just as toxic and exploitative. We’ve found clothing that’s for sale in a national supermarket chain for sale on Temu for a fraction of the price. Is it a knock-off or the same product being marked up? I suspect the latter is often the case.
