Shocking abuse has become normalized through pervasive consumer indifference. [contrarian]

What is shocking is less the stories themselves than the fact that they no longer seem to provoke much shock at all. A quarter of a century after I published No Logo, we seem to take it for granted that a piece of fast fashion worn by a young woman in New York or London or Toronto means that other young women have to risk being incinerated in their garment factories in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

XREF: Ties to Naomi Klein's earlier No Logo and the broader conversation about the numbing of moral outrage over supply-chain exploitation.
