No, that argument has been made. They can afford to take the hit and still profit. Also if we had more American jobs our economy would be better and we could afford a higher price.

Why not make a new plant that makes only America's iPods and iPads and Macbooks? They have to bring all that material here anyway. Be it finished product or not we could take some pressure off the production line Foxconn has by making our own.
Corporations shouldn't be given tax breaks then. If they are not a humanitarian organization and only looking to screw us as much as they can in order to turn a profit then why give them help in doing that? I am technically paying Apple and Microsoft and Ford and other companies through these tax breaks and I get…
Also I don't give a shit about my improper use of grammar. If you don't like it don't read it. It's not going to be fixed by your little comment.
The worst part of is that saving on labor cost does not make your business any stronger nor the economies. By hiring less people and spending less money that means less money gets recirculated. That means their is less money for the growing population to acquire. That means more people are poor or poorer and can't…
What do we make? We don't have to worry about to much products that need to be exported to another country.
Yup that is like when they say "lower mininum wage and we will hire more people" they are actually saying "hey lower minimum wage so we can fire the people we have then rehire them at the new minimum wage"
A few warehouses I've worked at forced people during xmas season (4 months) to work 12 hour days 7 days a week with no option of vacation or sick days. Again I know it's not as bad as China but it could be better
They have all those laws and agreements yes but that doesn't mean Foxconn has to do any of them. Foxconn has Apple by the balls since they are the only manufacture capable of making all those iPads/iPhones. It doesn't matter about cheap it just matters that they are the only one's able to do what Apple needs.
Why not raise the taxes on importing?
I have worked in warehouse jobs for awhile. The conditions are not that much better. I had a job that only allowed 1 lunch and no breaks during a 10 hour work day. I had another where everyone on the lines made under $9 an hour. Even those who have been there for 6 years. I had a manager yell at me and tell me if I…
Why couldn't a third party do it in America? Third parties do most of the work in America anyway.
It's a manufacturing line. There should be no difference in work conditions just because they make different products.
So by your standard the only way I can express my opinion about how I want my products produced is to die? I can't live without food right now so I would end up homeless and dead in order to make my point? There is no other way of me making my point then? Being alive is just me being a hypocrite? I know who made the…
As Shane put it, they are ordering and condoning those actions. Remember they have done these reports for years and every year it's the same. So by still using that manufacture you are then financing and supporting that kind of business practice. If you don't believe so then it's like saying "I don't want my son to do…
Yeah cause when you start with the worst anything is a major improvement right?
When did Apple push for increased wages of factory workers? Oh when they were killing themselves and it made news? Also yes look at each yearly report that Apple puts out. It's the same thing every year. Underage workers, people working 30 hours straight, people working with hazardous chemicals, dorms the size of a…
I never said they should live at a different standard then everyone else. I said they need to be at a better standard and so should everyone else. The problem is they aren't even that great when it comes to standards compared to everyone else. Just cause Cook said they were doesn't mean it's true. The only explanation…
Unlimitely slow.....ahhhh sick burn.
This is a standard that everyone needs to be at not just Apple. It's just Apple is just plain lying and trying to do whatever they can to skirt around these immoral practices that they condone. Money over Humanity is Apples real motto.
