If you actually read the article about the suicide rate at Apple factories in China, you would have noted that their workers committed suicide at a rate half that of the general population.  That’s right, working in the so called sweat shop cut the rate of suicide in half.

smh—-good point. robocalls calls from people
pretending to be sweatshop workers are increasingly
frequent and very annoying, my personal assistant tells
me.

her job in a sweatshop, but know makes $3159 every
week?

@ diman

its obvious you’re an american. not only do you think a sweatshops workers life can be described as not bad, you’re obviously stupid enough to believe that those texts were actually sent.

If this person from a sweatshop is presumably typing from another IPhone and complaining about his working conditions, I’d say his life is not that bad.
