> Demand for engagement rings gave thousands of South Africans steady work at De Beers. Now, weak sales and lab-grown stones are taking it away.
So wait, on this Labor Day weekend, it sounds like the WSJ is pro-worker, but only if they're in South Africa?
Nah, they’re pro-De Beers
Given the infamous conditions of diamond mining, to me that reads like “won’t someone think of the jobless slaves?” Someone no longer being forced to slave away in the mines is not exactly a great loss to workers rights.
“De Beers: Because the tears of children make it sparkle!”
At least they aren't blaming millennials still.
WSJ’s journalism is center-left and trustworthy. Their editorials are written by right-wing sycophants and lunatics.
WSJ is almost never rated center-left on any media bias charts based on any objective standards (eg. Ad Fontes media chart). They always fall into center-right.
I've never heard of WJS being center-left. But then I don't read it, I only come across what is occasionally shared online, most of which sounds insane.
