3. Most of them. You have to weigh your options, and it's a very personal decision.

It's certainly bad to support bad business practices, but at the same time, a good progressive starving to death doesn't help anyone. You can't put gas in your car or put on clothing without feeling a little bit guilty knowing what's going on in the world to support those businesses, but you can't go around naked, either. You have to do the most good you can with the resources and restrictions you have.

If I'm ever rich, I'll make sure everything I consume pays a living wage all the way down the supply chain, but right now, I just don't have the resources to do so.
