Trump is bad. I agree... but why is the left suddenly all sympathetic towards rich people & CEOs like this, who exploit cheap labor.

It's a nice dream to be able to start a small business, pay fair wages, use eco-friendly materials, source locally, pay yourself a shit salary to keep costs low, and not have any other backers hounding you to turn a profit at any cost. But that's what it is, a dream. You gotta start somewhere, somehow and hope you don't lose your soul along the journey.
