April Subtstack Roundup: Darfur, Sweatshops, War Profits, and Iran's Nuclear Shell Game

In this installment, Hollie and Dennis go over a selection of articles published in April 2024 on https://holliesmckay.substack.com/.

First is a discussion on how America, both government and media, are ignoring genocidal events around the world. The discussion highlights the situation in Darfur where brutality that once dominated US attention now sees little interest.

Next, an alternative view of sweatshops is discussed calling into question if privileged western views do harm or good for people in poor countries; particularly, the plight of women.
