Is there ANYTHING we can buy these days without supporting inhuman scumbags? -_- All else I've been able to do lately is hope for change in China and Saudi Arabia.

The Saudis aren't that hard to avoid, unless your country buys gasoline from them and you can't really help that. China is the tough one, but thankfully companies like Nintendo have said they are moving production out of China into places like Taiwan and Vietnam, iirc. The biggest sticking point is common household goods, some of which are extremely difficult to find without having the 'Made in China' sticker. When my cheese slicer broke I couldn't find one in any store that wasn't made in China so I ended up special ordering one from a German company. It cost double the price, but the quality has been miles above the old Chinese ones I used to own and it's already lasted double their typical lifespan. Same for my Swiss can-opener and American whisk.

And them they would also have to force the component manufacturers from moving from China, same for the foundries....
