The other side
A woman locked in a garment hall for fourteen hours loses her body's next twenty years, and the buyer who set the price never sees the bill. Wages track whatever a supply chain can get away with. Suppliers underbid each other and the floor keeps falling. Cheapness becomes the country's only selling point. Blocked fire exits are the mechanism. The gains are real. They land elsewhere.
