That's right
There are two interpretations, but usually they clearly write down the subject
of the crack

| Hello
I buy some minifigure torsos.
And there notice "crack under the arm" i understand 'arm crack'.
Seller reply : "Very clearly stated in description cracks UNDER arm, not
ON it."
Did I get it wrong?
Other sellers clearly enter the subject
Example : cracked torso (left, right,..) side
It's the first absurd thing I've ever experienced
What do you think about seller notice?
Thanks.

| Yes China has horrible working conditions, they have become a dump and free source
of cheap labour for us. 
Most EV batteries are made there and the waste from the refinement is crazy!
And they are the one who have to live in polluted, dirty, and water contaminated
land.
Just so we can have “clean” cars.(until the batteries die and need to be replaced,
then what happens to the batteries?)

| | The USA wasn't actually recycling most of what goes into those sorted bins.
Most of it was being exported to China. China finally said they wouldn't
take it anymore. There's been large campaigns to explain to Americans that
we were lied to, and nearly nothing we "recycled" actually got recycled.
Just shipped overseas where its often burned
Last I checked the USA was scrambling to find another country to take the stuff.
We don't really have recycling infrastructure here aside from sorting facilities.

New York City's recycling program is abysmal. Most New Yorkers don't
have plastic recycling bins, so they put cardboard boxes directly on the sidewalk.
When it rains, the boxes gets soaked and disintegrate. The end result is a soggy
wet mess that jams sorting machines and ultimately can't be recycled.
Beverage containers are better since New York State has a bottle bill and people
go around collecting bottles and cans and bring them back to recycling centers,
but I don't know what the recycling centers do with them.
After China stopped buying almost all plastic waste in January 2018, Malaysia
picked up the slack and began importing a lot of waste from other countries,
but now even they're starting to get fed up with all this garbage.
China still recycles a lot of electronic waste, but the people who take apart
used electronics generally work without proper protective equipment and many
develop skin and respiratory diseases from touching and breathing toxic metals.
The people who mine rare metals to make new electronic devices also work under
pretty poor conditions. Many come from poor countries without workers' rights.
Apparently, some people recycle cooking oil:
