    Yeah the report I mentioned found long work hours, health and safety, abusive management to be an issue. Foxcon seems to have addressed a lot of the issues brought up in that report. Even if they didn’t its still not slavery or not anything remotely similar.

    I hate the ccp as much as the next guy but these workers are being paid and given benefits. Its not slavery. It doesn’t help to make false statements like this. If you want to attack foxcon there is plenty of actual points.

    For example you could bring up the fair labor report that happened after this controversy and examined 3 foxcon factories in China and found that while workers starting wage was above minimum wage and most of the workers were far above minimum wage majority of the employees still said their salaries were not satisfactory to cover their needs.

    Also foxcon addressed the concerns of that report after the investigation was concluded. Including improving health and safety, worker pay, hours worked and benefits.

    Its far from slavery but its not denmark working conditions. However if I was Chinese I wouldnt say its a bad job. Lots of hours and decent wage + option of living on premises is good. The suicides definitely are not related to working conditions or we would see at least 5x more per year.

    Fuck this sucks to see. What an incredibly stupid thing to tweet. He got absolutely cooked in the replies as he deserved to. Trying to pass it off as purely based on policy then when users bring up a comparison of dems anti trust policy vs Republicans he is silent.

    I got a year subscription and I almost finished moving everything over to protonmail. But I cannot support someone who genuinely thinks the Republicans are a positive force.

    Working in construction and not getting the burrito is crazy I wouldn’t be able to resist. When I used to work in construction there was a pie shop that sold warm meat pies. Everyone would go get one except this one guy who had a banana and apple. We legitimately thought he was gay just because he didnt buy a pie and energy drink every day.
