    I was talking to a relative about Temu the other day, “How can they sell shit so cheap? Like, there’s got to be slavery involved somewhere.”

      Temu and Shein have some of the most absurdly optimized supply chains in the world

      Chinese workers are also just more efficient than American ones LOL

        Lemmy.ml calling slave labor efficient because it’s Chinese slave labor.

        Got to love your patriotism, but maybe dial it back a bit on the justifying slavery.

          I use that KES script that has a feature to highlight the instances so I can discern between what’s my home instance content, federated instances and moderated instances. Moderated ones have a red circle in them.

          Every time I see a red circle, I know it’s going to be yet another shit take from a lemmy.x user, and it never fails.

        Temu, at least, is just a dropshipper. Temu itself doesn’t have any supply chain. The vendors that sell through Temu do.

          Well, not doing anything is pretty efficient.

        Why wouldn’t they be more efficient? If I mess up at my job, they don’t execute me for it.
