Black Friday. Cartoon for Trouw.

#BlackFriday #consumerism #exploitation #sweatshops

Cartoon showing a restaurant with eager, expectant customers. Instead of dishes, waiters are carrying cardboard boxes labeled with Amazon, Temu, Alibaba and Shein logos. The waiters are coming out of a door labeled 'sweatshop'; through the open door, we see workers slaving away behind sowing machines. Through the restaurant window, we see a desolate landscape with factories. A menu on the wall reads: 'Black Friday menu: media deal, super discount, ultra-low prices'.
