Slavery never left it just got rebranded.

The Thirteenth Amendment needs to be amended.

Per Wikipedia: The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. The amendment was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, by the House of Representatives on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865, and proclaimed on December 18, 1865. It was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted following the American Civil War.

    I think it would be better to state the specific products rather than call out grocery stores at large. With this info I cant write a letter to Costco telling them I think they should drop a product and why

        Well, technically not the entire world, but North America most likely and USA for sure.

        If I go out and buy Coca Cola, it’s not made in a country with legalized slavery. Of course I still try to avoid it and prefer local products over stuff made by American megacorporations.

      Yeah. The fact that one of the products it Coke means it’s easier to name stores not on the list.
