To be fair I stated it very dryly, it could easily sound like a judgment before a joke ;)

One might think they’d be cheaper.

Edit: to clarify, I do know that if shoes are cheap they’re likely to be made by children and that ethically made shoes will be more expensive. However, labour costs aren’t the only thing that determines the price, material costs are a thing as well. (And companies would love us to think that this factor is the main deciding one because they can’t really skimp on that without losing quality, now can they?) So my thought process was that these shoes made from trash presumably have lower material costs than conventional ones that are made ethically from non-trash materials so shouldn’t they be cheaper?

All I know is I have a hard time justifying 120 € shoes, no matter how and from what they’re made.

“No matter what you do as a manufacturer you will never be able to offer competitive prices unless you exploit child labour in some 3rd world country.”

format of the meme is: common/rare… W/L

With w being win and l being lose, meaning that someone often (or not so) does something well (or not well)

It’s gibberish. Young people or middle-aged people who are afraid to let go have developed a way of speaking that is similar to a small child’s.

I believe the point they were making is that people are used to cheap prices because of the use of child labor. These shoes are expensive compared to that, leading to that gibberish-speaker claiming a win for child labor.
