People would need to be really willing to pay double the price for the same product to have a label "made in USA" or "we paid twice the minimum wage to our employees", etc. So as we know it won't happen, as people always want to pay less and get more it is just that hypocritical claim for social justice that is very hollow. Just like asking teachers to get better compensation, but also complain that education is to costly.

Is that really hypocritical though? Just seems like a US exclusive thing to me.

I mean, education is free in Germany, so there's nobody at all claiming it's "too costly" but I've never heard anybody complain that teachers get paid too little there either. Just seems like the US is getting the worst of both worlds.

Brazil have it and a lot of other places as well.

But I'm sure the other example would apply to germany. Would people be willing to pay double the price for the PS5 if it was manufactured in Germany (with the PS5 from China also being sold there?) I doubt many would pay 1000 versus 500 just because it was made in a place with "good labor laws". Whenever that happens you can bet companies will explore it, just like they do with green products that you pay a lot more because of ecological concern.
