Suddenly my 1st world problems seem minimal in comparison. We really benefit all the time from the long hours, horrible working conditions and abysmal pay of millions of people.

Alternatively, the "horrible pay" has brought about 200,000,000 people out of subsistence farming into a middle class. Foxconn employees make more than most university graduates in China. Pay is entirely relative.

Do not respond to me with your right views. I do not agree with your justification of giving people progress by turning them into still malnourished and often poisoned machines due to toxic conditions.

Like continued progress in those countries can really be sustained anyways, as the world does not have infinite resources. We will be facing rude awakenings in the not too far future I can tell you that.
