"If you've got a factory full of children in China assembling phones for 17 cents an hour, you've got a lot of nerve calling someone else opportunistic." — Aaron Sorkin

First MAJOR problem with Sorkin's claims: Apple's assembly line workers are being paid approximately TWENTY TIMES more than 17¢ an hour and are among the highest paid factory workers in China. Sorkin either doesn't have c clue about what he is talking about or he is lying his fool head off.

Second MAJOR problem with Sorkin's claims; Apple's assembly line workers are not children, they are young adults, 18 to 32 years old. So once again, Sorkin is just plain wrong or lying.
