As to other reply: what times has vote with your wallet truly worked?

Already answered this several times, including the comment you just replied to.

People educating themselves doesn’t happen, is the point.

Yes, that is indeed the point.

This pipe dream that an overwhelming majority of consumers will suddenly become extremely conscious and educated is, at best, misguided.

That doesn't make anything I said untrue.

others that are seeing increasing success, like China, are demonized continually even though they are quickly outranking the USA in almost every major quality of life metric

You think China, of all places, is making consumer-focused and ethical products?

China sees increasing success because they have no minimum wage and no concept of IP. So the world outsourced vast swathes of production infrastructure there only to have all their IP stolen and reproduced without any of the R&D costs. Then the government sudsidizes it to hell even further so that they can apply the Amazon model of enshittification to the global economy.
