Who said anything about slavery? The vast majority of third world workers mining diamonds do so in the regulated commercial sector. These are largely technical engineering jobs that bring investment in infrastructure into the country, certainly much more so than many other local opportunities. A single mine like those in Botswana can employ thousands of people, and be the core of the local economy. I'm not saying there are no slaves in diamond mines, but if so it's a marginal source.

Oh my good grief. What on earth did you think I was advocating?

But then the best option would be to fix the business, not take it away and put more pressure on people, forcing them into another slavery.

>If your business is to force people into slavery, then it is part of your business to remove other avenues for them to get out of slavery.

I suspect your sentence got a little mangled. It sounds like you're saying that businesses should try to prevent people from getting out of slavery by removing other avenues by which they could free themselves.

I suspect you mean that they should create those avenues for freedom, instead.

>It sounds like you're saying that businesses should...

They are saying slavery based businesses should... If you profit off slavery you don't want it to end.

I see. Thank you.
