Doesn’t surprise me. Even when you pay labor a fair, living wage for high-end apparel and fashion items–which Dior is definitely not doing–the cost of labor is still a pretty small fraction of the final price. The cost of materials and findings on those bags is likely more than the labor costs.
Most of what you’re paying for in high-end goods is very careful design, attention to materials and the construction process, and very good QC. Those are largely intangibles.
So why don’t they pay workers reasonably then, since it’s such a small fraction of the final cost? Because the company has no soul.
But it is immoral to become a fascist in order to fight against fascism. And that’s the proposal on the table; Biden should use his newly found presidential immunity to do “official” acts, like have all of the Republican leadership assassinated, or jailed in Gitmo, or I don’t even know. If Biden wins by killing democracy, then democracy is still dead, even though we have a less-evil leader at the helm.
