After hundreds of workers were killed in Bangladesh when the factory
they worked at making clothes collapsed, Pope Francis took a moment
during his May Day homily to pray for the victims and their families as
well as condemn the labor practices that took their lives.

“How many brothers and sisters find themselves in this situation!”
said the pontiff referring to the unfair and unsafe working conditions
around the world. “Not paying fairly, not giving a job because you are
only looking at balance sheets, only looking at how to make a profit.
That goes against God!”

He couldn’t believe that the workers inside the factory were only making
roughly 38 Euros ($50) per month calling the deplorable conditions and
pay “slave labor.” Workers who subsequently died.

“I call on politicians to make every effort to relaunch the labor
market,” said Pope Francis who went on to say that unemployment is, “an
economic conception of society based on selfish profit outside the
bounds of social justice.” He also said, “We do not get dignity from
power or money or culture, no! We get dignity from work.”

The Vatican has spoken against economic inequality throughout the
economic collapse of recent years, and has been often very critical of
unregulated capitalism and the harm it inflicts.

Running a factory without making a profit apparently goes against god
also because he will close it down in no time at all. Interesting
that Harry should take such a sudden interest in the teachings of the
pope.

You can depend upon a bankster not giving a **** about the greed that
cost more than 1000 lives. No one said the factory shouldn't make a
profit, by the way.

It's good to see you once again searching for the moral high ground.
Hopefully you'll find it some day but I'm not holding my breath.

Just as an FYI, I'd argue that incompetence was probably a bigger
culprit than greed in the case of the building collapse. When things
are designed and built correctly, they don't fall down.

What a wonderfully self-delusional way to look at corporate excess. The
guy who expanded the building illegally in Bangladesh was simply
incompetent and didn't know what he was doing would lead to disaster.
The companies who contract for the lowest price manufacturing facility
didn't know the companies they retained had their workers laboring for
**** wages in such a facility. It's never greed, because the free market
system, why, it demands that structures and systems are designed, built,
and operated correctly. Yup, so anything horrific that happens, why it
is never the fault of cost-cutting or greed.
