I’m shopping for a new car, and would like to choose one made with the least bad labour practices, if possible.

My reading suggests there is literally no good choice, but curious if anyone here has a perspective that could inform my choice.

Is there any car company that shits on their workers less and/or chooses contractors/vendors that shit on their workers less than the rest? Or are we just doomed to drive around the blood sweat and tears of exploited persons?

Shopping in America.

Edit: New to me. Used just as likely.

    Well the most ethical thing would be not buying a car at all, which is perfectly feasible for a huge amount of people who just don’t even consider it…

      Maximum ethics would be to die and allow nature to utilize your nutrients.

        Inefficient. Utilise your time to provide maximum benefit for the biosphere before you return to it. Nature is not a solo juggernaut - it needs us to help to our part.

          It does not, it doesn’t care. It’s happy to be very, very hot, and very very inhospitable to humans.

          IT WOULD PROVIDE THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT TO ANNIHILIATE ALL HUMANS

          LET US DO OUR PART AND KILL AS MANY AS WE CAN

          NATURE NEEDS YOUR HELP
