The chickens have come home to roost
"I tremble for my country when I remember that God is just." -Thomas Jefferson
He was talking about slavery, but it could just as much be about murder in Central America and the Middle East, and modern-day slavery that supports our air-conditioned lifestyle. The Yes Men did a presentation pointing out that a lot of people who make our modern-day stuff get paid less than it cost, back in the day, to keep slaves.
Would you happen to have a link to that presentation? Yes men is not exactly a great search term.
Oh man... I glossed over a little bit.
Here's the talk, I think you should see this one first. This was their group, giving a presentation at an extremely serious business forum, to people who thought that the presentation was being given by a rep from the World Trade Organization: https://theyesmen.org/project/finland/talk
Then, I think you should read the backstory: https://theyesmen.org/project/finland/behindthecurtain
Somewhere there is a video, I think.
