Its heartbreaking. The two sides of the world. There are those who work like this and those like us, lucky enough to be born into the families we did.

There it is, the gold in our smartphones and around our necks.

Our economy is based on exploitation and unfair compensation.

Almost anything we own some company somewhere that makes it exploits ppl.

 

The issue isn't the thing or resource itself. It's the system as a whole that encourages exploitation regardless of which product it is

Honestly I am only into plastic and cheap metal jewellery now. I used to own silver and gold pieces but I gave them to my family and I’m over it. I know it’s useless and makes no difference to the lives of the poor people who mine this but I cannot support it anymore. Also I hate the idea that we prescribe value to certain stones and ish when they are all rocks. If I see a pretty stone or rock on the floor outside I will make a jewellery out of it. What makes a diamond more special? I swear it’s so weird how we give certain things more value than others for no reason or just because it is “rare” lol
