Seriously, you all seem politically savvy, I just need to be able to
create a relationship with a company who is accountable for it's

shoes whose supply chain is responsibly handled, whose labor is paid
well and treated legally, that are made in the good old USA. Does
anybody ask these questions about electronics ? No flames please,
honestly, this is a practical concern.

What you are telling us is that you are unwilling to question
your underlying assumptions, which I believe with good reason to
have led you to call good bad and to call bad good.

For example, you assume that not buying from a supplier whose
labor isn't paid well is good. In reality you are, without
asking him what he thinks, insisting that someone go from
getting a small paycheck to no paycheck at all. You aren't
willing to find out who he is and send him money, but you
are willing to put him out of work and turn him out in the
streets to starve.

And then you insist that nobody here point out to you the
consequences that your decisions have on the poor in third
world countries.

This isn't about philosophy. This is about you doing evil
while thinking that you are doing good and about you refusing
to discuss or even think about whether what you are doing is
actually good or evil.
