How does earning money cause others suffering?

• tobylane 11y ago
  The difficulty of having an entire business that earns you a billion while paying a living wage, let alone the supply chain. See Apple's efforts to be green (eg mercury free in 2010-ish) but Foxconns' suicides.

    Are you talking about the suicide rate that's lower than the general Chinese population? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn_suicides#cite_note-economist-6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn_suicides#cite_note-eco... Does Facebook exploit any of its workers? (I'm not being rhetorical, I truly haven't looked into it)

      Oh, fair enough. I just believed the media. As for Facebook I haven't heard anything about non-US workers, barely anything about non-tech workers except that painter who took stock.
