8. American workers kill themselves at 5x the rate of Apple Chinese workers
but don't let facts get in the way of your meme.

6. That's what I say to the parents of the 13 year old Chinese girl who cleans my toilets.
"You want more than thirty-five fucking cents an HOUR?! How about you think about hitting the fucking streets then!"

9. And the retail prices of Apple products reflect those low labor costs
Er . . . hmmm. Well, Jobs was a Buddhist, so he probably did real neat, real key things with the profits. So there.

10. The fact that Apple exists reflects those low labor costs
but we both know only a complete hypocrite could post on DU about poor Chinese working conditions while using the very fruits of their labor. Right?

11. Okay, that doesn't make any sense
Apple as a company exists because it exploited Chinese workers, sometimes to their death? But only a complete hypocrite would point that out.

Nope. Still doesn't make any sense.

13. It does makes sense considering
Edited on Fri Oct-14-11 10:28 PM by chillspike
what you are using to point that out. The computer you're using was, in all likelihood, made in China using that exploited labor. If you're against exploiting Chinese labor, why did you buy the computer?
