You think the problem that needs to be solved is “there”? This sentence makes me question whose consumption you’re referring to in the previous sentence.

Solve the problem at whatever junction that is exposed for a solution is my point. Being outraged about stuff seems to not magically solve problems. Rather it often has a similar effect as ruminating about problems when being depressed. It often enforces the idea that the problem is somehow unsolvable.

Not saying outrage doesn't have a place. Just that other means might be more efficient.

It is literally only there. This problem exists because the governments of these places allow it to happen. The reason it doesn't happen here is because we have strong environmental regulations here.

"Strong environmental regulations" would make it impossible to just ship to someone without.
