Most buttplugs can be washed. Just a money-saving tip for you there.

Nah, it’s not about single-use, it’s about the collection. You can’t take some og the rare ones out of their original packaging or they lose value!

Much of that is cotton. I believe that in the “good” ol’ days the US grew that themselves. Start that industry up again, and you don’t need mass deportations across the border.

You could even run the farms the same way as in the olden days, if you criminalize and incarcarate enough black people.

I mean, that’s how cotton is produced nowadays too, except Uyghurs are the ones doing it.

Well boy howdy, it turns out we already been done doin that there part about criminalizing and incarcerating them black people just out of sheer racism. You’re telling me that there could’ve been a profit motive to it this whole time too?

jk, private contracted prisons were already profiting deeply off of that.

Ah, yes…

All we need to keep that industry running like the good ol’ days is a massive industry of government subsidized illegal immigration of easily identified persons

The US still makes massive amounts of cotton. That all gets exported to other countries before getting turned into garments and things.

Cotton takes a LOT of water to grow. And takes up farmland that could grow food.

Most of your clothes are artificial fabrics these days. Or blended

I wanted some foreign goods to get more expensive. To end slavery, not to escalate a trade war!

I should have checked my vicinity for any stray monkey’s paws when I made that wish.

“Fair Trade” is what you’re looking for. I don’t know how legit all instances are or whether they make a real difference, but its an attempt

This may sound pedantic, but you’re looking for Fairtrade (one word) for the organization with the strictest vetting standards. Fair Trade (two words) isn’t regulated and just means they follow some sort of ethical code. It’s not necessarily bad, but it warrants more product specific research.
