26 minutes! Is there a transcription available that we can skim read?

Okay I've watched the first few minutes and he makes a sweeping statement that "some, not all" non-USA built guitars use exploitation. I think that's nonsense.

Before I watch the rest of the video, is it all based on that unsubstantiated claim?

I'm very much into raising awareness of specific cases.

Just seems that guy in the video is trying to associate exploitation with guitars made the third world in general, probably in an attempt to convince people to spend more for expensive European-built guitars like he sells.

Re-reading my first comment, it reads like I'm doubting any guitar factories are exploitative; it was just a mistake in the way I wrote it - what I think is nonsense is that he's trying to give the impression that it's the majority.

I thought all factories worked on the principle of exploitation.
Power to the people!!!
