Child labor is expensive and so are those suicide nets....

PLEASE demonstrate the child labor. . . beyond rumors. There are 750,000 workers at FoxConn factories and the total number of underage workers found on an audit was 12. . . and they had used fake IDs, usually borrowed from other family members, to get work. The suicide rate among FoxConn's workforce at all their plants was 1/4 that of the Chinese population in general. . . and 1/8 that of the same age cohort of 18 to 28 year old young people in the Chines population. . . and 1/2 of that among similar aged AMERICAN young people enrolled in Ivy League Universities. This suicide idiocy is exactly that. IDIOCY. FoxConn had exactly 18 suicides among their 750,000 workers in 18 months. That works out to ONE per MONTH in those 18 months among 750,000 workers spread over 22 factories. Do you know what a propaganda campaign is? You fell for it. . . and you KEEP falling for it and keep spreading it. FUD.

Working at Foxconn is liking working at the circus.
You just have to make sure to land in the net.
