The single parents buing products from Temu is especially worrying, considering all the toxic compounds and other problems that have been found in those.

For examples of those issues see:

  1. Not surprised, old people are fucking dumb and either don’t know or don’t care about the enviromental or ethical impact

  3. My dad is one of those people. He keeps buying junk from there, from horrible polyester T-shirts to random kitchenware. Most of the items end up in the trash.

  4. I have one friend like that, borderline poverty living but a new package at least once a week – all just useless shit. It has to be some sort of addiction, because it is not reasonably justifiable.

  5. I think a salient point that most are overlooking is how low income those two groups classically are.

  6. I’m not surprised. Yet all the unemployed, the poor, and the low-income have been blamed the most on social media. I really hope that the situation will change based on the information and data provided by this survey.
