Over 100 Years Ago, 123 Young Women Working In A Factory Never Came Home. It Changed Our Country. This is why we should never buy clothing from gap or Walmart. I had a hard time watching this and not getting terribly angry at the corporate world for crimes against peasants. The 123 young women and 23 men who died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on March 25, 1911, deserve to be remembered. Were watching it happen all over again in developing countries that supply Walmart, Gap, and other marketing and retail giants. I’m mad as hell, the american government is being bought and is mostly owned by the corporate lobbyists, and I wish we could live in a world where we didnt have to take this anymore. At 2:00, youll see the cascading effects that the fire had on workers rights and eliminating sweatshops in the United States. But watching it happen all over again in other parts of the world at 3:00 is heartbreaking. It was the same exact circumstances as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, word-for-word. At 4:24, how do they calculate the “value” of a human life? And the images at 6:40 — really? All for a $26 pair of pants? Warning: some violent images.
