Someone had to say it

This is just him excusing his laziness with whataboutism.

Just because lots of things suck doesn't mean people shouldn't care about specific things that suck.

Not surprising for Asmon, but it's not smart.

He is fucking wrong. This is lazy asmon at his worst.

I like asmon, but it really shows he doesnt have alot of experience outside his bubble. I grew up a couple hours outside of ATX and as much as love The Great State Of Texas, leaving was very beneficial for my knowledge of the world. There are plenty of companies out there that avoid the behavior he talks about. Not only that, personally, I dont expect people to quit working at blizz, but a strike sends a message. The effectiveness would depend on the amount of people able to take up the burden and those willing to take up the burden.

This is complete bullshit because there are companies that do try to ethically source their products both actively and inactively, because surprise, buying from an ethical country usually means there is quality control in the product you are buying. I work for a company that actively avoids not only manufacturers from shitholes like China, but will look into their supply chain to see where the materials come from.

I work for a company who's been recently having some of its product manufactured in a 3rd world country and the difference in quality is staggering. I get what he's saying, but in my experience, management isn't going to listen when the product simply costs the company less to manufacture (even with an increase in QC/warranty issues) outside of the US and lead times are still able to be met. He's naive if he thinks an employee "speaking up" about how unethical the practices are is going to lead to anything other than the employee getting fired and replaced by someone who won't bitch as much (there are PLENTY of these out there scouting for jobs on the daily).

It's funny how HIS Subreddit is filled with the biggest haters of him. Always funny to read the comments here
