No, central_va. You keep posting this propaganda hit piece. I keep slapping your LIE down. You post it as an innuendo which has NO connection to reality. I prefer truth. So, central, there's no "nerve" to hit.
Why don't you post it in dayglored's Microsoft Ping List threads, since Microsoft Xboxes were what the majority of workers were assembling where the spate of suicides occurred in 2010 at the FoxConn plant?
So, I again ask, what purpose do you have in extolling the amazingly LOW suicide rate of 1 in 100,000 per year at FoxConn and CEO Terry Gou's efforts to reduce even that remarkably low rate and his effectiveness in lowering suicides to ZERO among 1.5 million workers just three years later? Are you that in awe of such an achievement?
Well, of course any FR member can post a thread.
I personally don't consider these regular hit pieces about Chinese worker conditions and events even remotely reliable, whether they're about Apple, Microsoft, or anyone else. Everyone involved has an agenda. True facts are awfully hard to come by and verify halfway around the world, in a land where misleading statements, obfuscation, falsification, and outright lying are rife.
So post away, but I can't promise to ping my list to anything I consider grossly unreliable, regardless of topic or source.
Also, those types of threads often generate flame wars, and I'm in no mood to fight, especially about something where there is a total lack of reliable data in my opinion.
There are SO many more productive ways to spend one's time. I'm going to start posting this cartoon whenever I get called to these things. :-)
