Trump is bad. I agree... but why is the left suddenly all sympathetic towards rich people & CEOs like this, who exploit cheap labor.

So she admits that it would cost more to do it here in the US due to labor standards & you’re sympathizing that she can avoid labor standards & do it for cheaper in China?

Not "do it cheaper in China" the other choice would be "not do it at all".

From the article:

“It’s financially impossible for me to manufacture here. But even if I had an angel that just dropped a million dollars in my lap, it doesn’t make sense as a business model for how much we would have to charge for the product and charge the consumer,” she said.

Is that your go-to? If someone disagrees with you then they must be racist authoritarian bigoted misogynistic narcissistic selfish right-wing ultraconservative assholes that MAGA are?

I think we both dislike MAGA and what trump and his kind are doing tearing down America, but your race to anger and accusation are something we on the left have to apologize to others for on your behalf. Please stop doing that. You're embarrassing our side which is letting them paint all of us like you're behaving.

You're embarrassing your own side.

Yeah, you just lost to that due to lack of critical thinking skills. Dems went from supporting genocide to demanding cheap labor as well. I hope you learn something.
