Haymarket East
Looks like Apple's 1890-style sweatshop in China is being hit by riots, started by a guard beating a worker.So far no mention in America's main media; they're all too busy praising the latest cool iThingamajig 5 built by cool iSlaves 5. It's all okay if it's run by a cool iCommie.
Polistra wonders if China will rediscover the original American answer to sweatshop riots: Social Economics. Practiced most famously by Henry Ford, but also by other enlightened companies in the 1910's and 1920's.We sure as fuck aren't going to rediscover it here; we'll just continue to cover up Apple's evil so we can continue to enrich the rich and starve the poor. Maybe we'll pick it up from China 50 years after they perfect the method. No we won't. We'll never learn any fucking thing. We're fucking EXCEPTIONAL.
