I don't care who is to blame, I'm just glad the carbon garbage industry is dying.

Ok sweaty but it's not a real diamond unless it was made with cruelty

Some labor abuse can probably be arranged

Blame? Sounds like it might be a good thing?

It absolutely is a good thing, natural diamond industry is largely based on slave labor and it destroys the environment. There is absolutely no reason for it to exist when we can cheaply manufacture diamonds.

It's the usual framing of whatever China does as bad, regardless of what it is.

Fuck the diamond cartel up the ass.

I bought an engagement ring many years back for around $2600 and when we broke up I went to a pawn shop and they offered $60 for the gold, the diamonds weren't worth a thing.

I cheer when these billion dollar scam industries get what they deserve I hope more are coming soon
