Apple computers and Suicides

[Stan]

There has been, in the new stories about the amount of suicides that are happening in the factory where either iPads or iPhones are made.

To solve this Apple wants to give a cash bonus to the employees, on a profit sharing basis. Google for more details.

How trivial is that?

It is almost like they think money can buy happiness and satisfaction in life.

We all know that there’s no [censored] way in the world we should have microwave ovens and refrigerators and TV sets and everything else at the prices we’re paying for them. There’s no way we get all this stuff and everything is done fair and square and everyone gets treated right. No way. And don’t be confused — what we’re talking about here is our way of life. Our standard of living. You want to “fix things in China,” well, it’s gonna cost you. Because everything you own, it’s all done on the backs of millions of poor people whose lives are so awful you can’t even begin to imagine them, people who will do anything to get a life that is a tiny bit better than the [censored] one they were born into, people who get exploited and treated like [censored] and, in the worst of all cases, pay with their lives.

He's right, you know. There's no way Americans would pay the price it would take for totally American made versions of those big ticket items.

They raised it by 35 cents/hr . Now it will take these people only 3.3 weeks of work to buy one $99 Iphone. Finally, my believe in economic justice in this world has been resurrected!

For people who don't recognize sarcasm... I'm being sarcastic :)
