That's good, but also:

· We should put extra dollars not to buy goods from Israel, so fewer Palestinian children die

· We should put extra dollars not to buy goods from the US, so fewer Syrian children die

· We should put extra dollars not to buy goods from the UAE, so fewer Yemeni children die

We all had the extra dollars and did spend them in places where these abuses were not happening when we had a robust economy that was not just centered on knowlage and service work.

When you can get cheap goods from somewhere, then you can buy more. We outsourced and promoted cheap products for the benifit of Wallstreet and busniess at the expense of our future wages and global human rights.
