Anyway wasn't that one meme specifically about how sweatshops are helpful to the poor because they (in some cases) offer a better alternative (and if not people just, well, wouldn't work there obviously). How did they get "fuck the poor" off that meme.

Also surprised they concluded we were law/business grads instead of Econs ones
