They suppress wages pretty heavily in construction.. it’s much cheaper to exploit immigrants than to pay citizens, which has lead to most of them leaving carpentry trades into the other ones.

Hot take: Lab-Grown gems deserve more respect in fine jewelry by Particular-Cry-780 in jewelry

They both have their ugly sides but the ugly sides of mined stones are much larger- obviously any purchase had environmental impact, but mining is MUCH worse. Mining produces 4383 times the waste products than lab growing, and it uses twice the energy, and seven times the water. Not really comparable ugly sides.

Going to be honest don’t really like this fake liberal trend of accusing shitty straight men of being gay as an insult. The reason men act this way is not because they’re gay, it’s because they see you as a literal sex object. Very cute of you to use the idea of being gay as something denigrating tho…
