Dido here, Laury.
I certainly do not want to have good stuff at someone else's suffering, but
I do not have the wherewithal to research everything I buy to see if that is
the case.

I cannot speak for others but my comment was in no way to be taken to mean
that I think It's ok for anyone to work in deplorable conditions.
Most of what we use is made in other countries and we have no control over
that. In my opinion it is crazy to get rid of my iPhone because it may have
been manufactured in China and buy an android phone that too could have been
manufactured in another country. Not all items made in other countries means
that the workers are or have been mistreated.
I don't think anyone should work in conditions where they are untreated or
not being paid for the work that they do.

I cannot for the life of me imagine saying I don’t care where my device is
made as long as it makes my life easier. I just..I can’t imagine such
blatant disregard for another human being’s plight. makes me sick.

Yes, it absolutely matters where products are made and it matters even more
what sort of oversight and accountability is in place. You mentioned
clothing and here it maybe matters even more than with higher-end technology
devices where a certain amount of skilled labour is required, but even here
certain items like headsets, speakers and other mass-produced items we here
in the west are buying and discarding whenever we don't like them any more
or see something we like better affect the quality of life of the people in
the countries where they are made. We all want cheap, cheap and, even
better, cheaper, big corporations like Walmart, Target and others are happy
to supply all this cheap stuff and they are looking where they can make it
cheapest; I mean, who cares if the cool shirt was made by an 8-year old who
toils in a sweat shop for 12 hours a day and gets paid 25 cents a day for
the effort.
