Our system is completely corrupt and promotes exploitation of labor for the gains of a few peoples. It is absurd that we agree to pay some people ad vitam æternam just because they did decent work once. By the same standard, a manual worker achieving outstanding work that allows some project to work and meet expectations should be covered for life. But instead, he gets a tap on the back the "right" to go back and continue hard labor.
This is exactly how Apple got so rich. They "invent" and design hardware/software using a minimal amount of privileged well paid peoples and then go on and exploit cheap labor in a faraway country in order to sell the device with insane markup in their own county, very often to peoples who could have very much used a well-paid labor job.
China is making very clear an obvious fact: ideas, designs, concepts, and immaterial things like that only have value when they can be shared and executed upon.
Making is where most of the valuable creation happens. Apple would be making zero dollar is it was only an idea of a device and not the actual very well-built device, enabled by China's workers...
