You just finding this out now?



And this is what Romney was "impressed" by.

 

[uscitizen]

It is just corporate profit collateral damage.
Nothing to worry about they are just Chinese anyway.

You can't make an iPhone without breaking a few Chinese.

 

[LoudMcCloud]

No, i figured it out just before now.

 

[Sallow]

No, i figured it out just before now.

Figured what out?

 

[Mad Scientist]

Of course they have suicide nets. Person cannot kill themselves without State Permission first!

But of course America stands for Personal Freedom and fight Government Oppression everywhere so because iPhone made with Oppressed Slave Labor is banned in USA correct?

USA not hypocrite is it?

The source story for that link is this: Revealed: Inside Apple's Chinese 'sweatshop' factory where workers are paid just £1.12 per hour | Mail Online

The broadcaster revealed that the entry-level salary of just £180 per month is so low that it would take more than two months salary to pay for the cheapest iPad.

£180 is $273.49.

That makes an annual income of $3281.88.


http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/special/18cpcnc/2012-11/08/c_131960352.htm

Also in 2011, the per capita disposal income for Chinese urban dwellers rose by 14.1 percent to 21,810 yuan (3,493 U.S. dollars) over that in 2010. The figure for rural residents rose by 17.9 percent to 6,977 yuan. The figures could be lower with consideration of inflation.

6,977 yuan is $1123.42.

So the Apple factory is paying pretty close to the national average for Chinese urban dwellers, and well above the national average for rural residents.

And that is entry level pay. So that's pretty damn good pay by Chinese standards.

The working conditions and pay may seem harsh by our advanced developed country standards, but are completely typical for a developing nation.

The labor they are performing is grunt work, not highly skilled work.

They are right in line with the smiley curve of manufacturing.

America needs to stay on the two high points of that curve. If we don't get our educational system's shit together, we won't be for much longer.

The election is over. You can stop lying now.

They are likely drug addicts sent to forced labor. There's no sympathy for them. There are plenty more drug addicts where they come from.

Created in 2008 as part of a reform effort to grapple with the country’s growing narcotics problem, the centers, lawyers and drug experts say, have become de facto penal colonies where inmates are sent to factories and farms, fed substandard food and denied basic medical care.

It's one of the very few Chinese policies we should implement here.

The favorite liberal corporation. They're getting their asses kick by Samsung BTW.

The reality is that MOST American companies do just this all over the globe. Companies like Wal-Mart open ‘sweat shops’ that pay excellent wages and have better working conditions than what is available to the people in the area. Unfortunately, those conditions are horrific compared to what the average American is used to.

I would point out that I believe that they are talking about Foxconn where the factory has a population that rivals many cities. As a matter of fact, Foxconn has a suicide rate that is LOWER than many places with similar populations and better than the overall Chinese average.
Media gets its facts wrong - working at Foxconn significantly cuts suicide risk | ZDNet

The horrible suicide rate at Foxconn is extremely overstated.

Maybe the Democratic convention should have suicide nets for all the supposed victims who only for the first time realized how unfair life has been to them...

 

[Mr Natural]

It's more than the girls working in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory had.

You only say that because you know you'd be the first to go wouldn't you? One of the first packed off for rehabilitation. That's what they call it. Rehabilitation.

You cannot kill yourself in the USA without state permission either.
NO jumping needed here though, we have plenty of guns for suicide.

 

[Katzndogz]

Let's examine liberal philosophy regarding IPhones.

It is wrong to use slave labor.
It is okay to use slave labor IF they can afford what they want.
It is acceptable to steal an IPhone from someone who worked and paid for the IPhone.
The American who worked for the money to buy the IPhone only to have it stolen by someone who doesn't work is now the slave of the thief.

No wonder liberals like slave labor.

The Chinese are not normal people. What they do in that county to their people is terrible.
However, the Chinese as a whole are in much better shape than say 30 or 40 years ago.
Should they be grateful? Dunno. Are they better off? Absolutely.
I would like to believe we here in the US can have more influence over conditions in China..Eventually.

 

[uscitizen]

What are "normal people" ?

those who blow their brains out with a gun vs jumpinig from a building?
