"Working-conditions in china? Who cares?"
Let's start with you. I assume, you wrote that comment on the computer. There's 100% probability that this computer was manufactured in China. So its you. You do not fucking care.
- freehunter 15y agoAre you not using a computer made in China? The problem is not where it was made, the problem is the conditions under which it was manufactured. Unfortunately we as consumers don't have much power or insight into where or how our electronic products are made. One thing we can do is pressure companies to change their suppliers, something Apple has shown they're willing to try at least to some extent.
- Vivtek 15y agoI'm not the one that made 13 billion dollars in a single quarter while the 13-year-olds who assembled my product are driven to suicide and are praised in the New York Times for getting up at midnight with a bun and coffee to make up for the poor planning of my design team. Apple sucks. So does every other electronics manufacturer in the world, but Apple sucks more because they're sitting on huge mountains of cash that could reduce the suffering of their workers if they could manage to give a shit about human concerns.
- code_duck 15y ago100% probability... okay. So according to the fact you've provided, if one wishes to communicate online, there is no choice. Did the person you're responding to create this situation? I don't think that choosing not to own a computer because you disapprove of working conditions in China is a smart tactic.
