If Apple store started hanging pictures of mine workers who produced the rare earth materials that went into the phone and living conditions of the minimum wage factory workers in Vietnam who assembled the phone their sales would go down alot.
- drw85 4y agoI don't think so. Pictures of destroyed lungs on cigarette boxes didn't make a huge impact on smokers either, since it's not their lungs pictured. Most people are already aware of those things, but choose to ignore it.
- wruza 4y agoNot because of empathy though, people know that and don’t give a single one. It would be simply a bad advertisement, as if Apple started talking about sshfs, open source and other geeky topics in their presentations. It would simply become unluxury. For a similar reason people prefer packaged meat and frozen fish at a supermarket and avoid non-ventilated rooms with piles of meat and fish, because the smell is undelicate and associates with lower standards. Pretty sure top CEOs would feel irritated as well if they had to watch and listen about their wagies’ unembellished life conditions for an hour everyday. We are much more selfish than ignorant. I’d say most people aren’t ignorant at all. They are just okay with it as long as it stays away.
