Where did they find enough used condoms to make this a profitable venture? There is no way they just picked them out of the trash, they had to be at least partially presorted somehow.

I don't know exactly why, but this article makes me think of this site.

    poor people in the 3rd world are extremely poor.

    It's the reason 1st world countries have been shipping their trash to China/India until 2018 (when the countries stopped accepting it)

        They still have quite a ways to go, the GDP per capita (I know it's a bs statistic but I'm just trying to make a shitty comparison here) is still less than half of that of South Africa. That being said, full support to Vietnam in their industrialization and efforts to improve their standard of living, I'm sure they'll do very well :uncle-ho:

          Oh sure, I'm just saying it's really impressive how much they've raised their standard of living, especially since the absolute devastation of the Vietnam War. Really, it's the story of every socialist country.

            Yeah it is extremely impressive, that's for sure. The determination of the people is really something to admire and Vietnam should be very proud of how far they've progressed, they had the best coronavirus response of any country, I think still at 0 deaths. Seriously impressive
