I lived in Gulf countries for 12 years; I'm well aware of the shitty and life-threatening work conditions for migrant labourers.

I've also lived in the US for 9 years; I'm also well aware of the mistreatment of workers here, such as workers who are undocumented migrants, workers who are prisoners, workers who work gig companies, Amazon workers, and many others.

The common theme here is humans are excellent at externalizing costs.

Jeff bezos is not pissing in a bottle. The people who profit the most from these ships are never trapped on them.
