I agree, I think the way things are now, it's considered the responsibility of the consumer to buy things that have recyclable packaging, are made ethically, their production isn't harmful to the environment etc. And I try to do all that as much as I can, but this problem wouldn't be here in the first place if there were regulations on the companies

Wow, I didn't know that. I mean, the saying "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" always made no sense to me, but I didn't know that it was actually was the point and people have been using it wrong for so long.

Wtf no way
Sounds like that person was trying to scam you hard.
It never happened to me but yeah sometimes it happened that there weren't enough dividers and the cashier got confused, luckily the person behind me never tried to scam me into paying for their stuff.

Damn that's kinda racist to assume that only white people care enough about lower wage workers to not make their job harder by having to guess where your stuff ends and someone else's begins.

To be fair just because you live in the country doesn't mean your carbon footprint is lower. Your choices as an individual matter more than where you live, like what type of transportation you use, what cosmetic products you buy, what food you eat, if you buy your clothing new or thrifted etc. If you live in a nice place, lucky you, but don't pretend you don't contribute to climate change.

I mean, you're technically correct but I think this post wasn't meant to be taken literally. The way I see this, this is more of a jab at the system that lets people work full time and still not make enough money to survive, and the greedy shits who can buy five private jets because of this system. That said, the problem is obviously systemic, not on an individual level. Beating up a guy who's exploiting the system (like, the CEO of that company) won't work, because he's then gonna turn around and sue you, benefitting from the same system he had been exploiting. But it's really hard to make meaningful changes nowadays because a lot of big companies would rather skedaddle to China than pay people a living wage.

Just don't buy from Wish, I guess. They have terrible working conditions and no environmental regulations (ever wondered why the stuff you ordered is made from a weird material?). Thrifting is more ethical and cheaper ^^

Cat kneading is one of the cutest things. Hurts when they do it on you though. But it's too cute to not let them.
