Because it's time to start calling these plants that Apple runs what they are. As the hint at the bottom indicated -- the substitution was obvious (assuming one read the actual article). And in that sense, not "really" misle

An immediate month-long boycott of all stores would be a good place to start.

Exactly - "follow the money". It's very clear where the responsibility lies.

It is 100 percent Apple's responsibility to guarantee safe and humane working conditions for all workers at every level in its supply chain. The idea that this is Foxconn's responsibility, or that Apple is "unable" to pr

It just seems stupid to not offer a sane working environment. No -- Apple management sees this as a smart move, actually. Allowing these little flare-ups to happen now and then allows senior management to broadcast to the world just how

Per the article: The factory is central to Apple's efforts to shift its slave plantations away from China due to tensions between Beijing and Washington. Reuters reported last year that Foxconn planned to invest up to $1 billion in th

For women who assembled iPhones at a Foxconn plant in southern India, crowded dorms without flush toilets and food sometimes crawling with worms were problems to be endured for the paycheck. And: The unrest at Foxconn was the second invo

University does not teach critical thinking. They teach assignments and tests, where the information is forgotten as quickly as it was received. You do not learn critical thinking having to remember every definition in the textbook. Yet th

We're over ten years in at this point with insane investment and nothing has appeared. You can't dismiss the $69 million Beeple sale as "nothing". Truly, it is a watershed moment in human history.

Your point is perfectly sound. What matters at this juncture is what Putin does - and why he can tap into a substantial component of support of his people to take military action to address decades of distrustful feelings towards the West,

It's gibberish because you don't justify why this innovation provides value . Instead you just slather more fancy technical lingo on top.

I don't see how one can not find it funny. Then again, I've never particularly desired to work for that line of "customer".

Still, I would not want to be surrounded by people that despise me. You obviously are the main protagonist in the article. Who never seems to have had a problem with being in that position.

Did he realize that NATO did not invade these countries, like Russia did to Georgia and Ukraine, and NATO membership is the choice of its people? Say what you will about events that have happened since then. But the basic fact is, the Ru

Both this comment and its parent have the basic chronology backwards, specifically in regard to Ukraine. Whose moves to join NATO began in 2008 -- a full six years before the annexation of Crimea. Also, especially since the Kosovo interven

It is no secret in the open-source world that I am a libertarian, a friend of the free market, and implacably hostile to all forms of Marxism and socialism (which I regard as coequal in evil with Naziism). Shine on, Raymond.
