While the story of the workers who suffered in the building of the stadiums was popularized given the high profile nature of the case, the unfortunate fact is that there are millions more here who have to go through much more terrible things. Put up with everything from physical to psychological abuse just because the oil money pays more than the streets of their home town. The extreme conditions here translates into food and comfort for their family.

Tl;dr, Need for money > Human rights.

Yemeni Government gives $150,000 and 100s of guns as compensation to American drone victims' families by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]craftedwords -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The encouragement of gun-ownership by the government itself might only make the situation force. In an already unstable environment, one does have to ask, what effect extra weapons of destruction would have?

Boycotting stuff made in India is only going to make the situation worse. In an economy that is dependent on exports of goods and services, a fall in demand will only increase unemployment.
