The Huawei P70, P70 Pro, P70 Pro+ and P70 Art Edition are set to be officially unveiled next week if the latest leaks are to be believed. The peculiar design can already be seen in photos, while a data sheet supposedly reveals the specs of the top models.
Paying more for a product that better aligns with your interests, ethics or ideology.isn’t a strange concept.
Being a consumer means I don’t attribute others ethics, nor ideology, when making a buying decision.
I buy things because I’m a consumer of goods that tries to save myself from having to spend more, to line others greedy pockets though.
If those are my ethics, call me a dirty consumer perhaps? But people getting paid minimum wages whilst people who do nothing other than tell their sales department to up their price “just because” it doesn’t come from a certain geography is like chopping your nose off to spite your face IMO.
edit: I found a perfect example of this. Berghaus fleece Vs a Amazon basics, or hell, even a Regatta fleece. Just the badge, and nothing else.
It’s not an all or nothing situation. Like choosing to buy cheap clothing doesn’t mean you can’t practice ethical consumerism elsewhere. There is no contradiction there. Life is all about determining what values are important to you and attempting to uphold them to the best of your ability.
Absolutely!
And when you have a finite amount of money / time left on this planet I uphold my values of buying the best bang for buck.
Whether that’s my Xiaomi router, phone, scooter, or even the cheapo Amazon basics fleece the first thing I do is look at the price and not if it comes from a country that others don’t like.
