Epic comment

Because this is what the U,S press wants you to see They just want to take their jobs back to the U.S. And then go crazy and smear China

All Android manufacturers use (almost) the same factories. So?

@@hcjet you dont have to see it. Hundreds of workers have testified to how the conditions are.

Well, at least they are employed and not collecting unemployment benefits or wasting their lives drinking alcohol or using drugs to exist as a mindless morons.

@Jack Bogusman you do realize that, in order to collect "our" unemployment benefits, a pers has to have been working for the period immediately prior to getting said benefits? Well, maybe you dont. They pay into it also. So its "theirs" too. You sound like one of those spoiled kids on the playground who wont let anyone play with their toys.

Dude fuck that those jobs belong here in the US but you are going to tell me we don't have the capable people in this country what we don't have is people that are willing to work for pennies on the dollar and rightfully so can't live off that but there needs to be more incentive for these American companies to stay here and not go to China there is a massive workforce coming to this country on a daily God forbid you should train them no no send it overseas to China communist China the country that wants this country wiped out of course that makes a lot of sense FOH haters whiners bunch of **tches

Yeah some people are crazy. They get so used to it that they think that speed is normal.

Nice literary

Apple is American. What are you talking about? Without Walmart and Amazon, apple would not have so many sales. It's all about advertising pushes to Apple, without that they would be nothing. It's a fashion brand now, literally

Alright let me tell you. As a former Walmart employee it is not that bad. This is way worse.

Usa is just a hot piece of capitalistic shit

And how much customers are willing to pay.

@@larrybarnes1794 mainly this!

Apple squeeze as much as they can out of their customers. Anyone for 'the best ever Apple headphones' $550 headphones? No wonder they got rid of the headphone jack. Made billions out of airpods but not satisfied with $250 airpods they want even more hence Airpods Max, cost nearly €700 in EU.

@@larrybarnes1794 Exactly. A product is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. If no one was willing to pay $1000 for an iPhone than Apple would lower the price regardless of cost. Look up how much Apple is willing pay you for upgrading your computer. I have a 2014 MacBook Pro that is loaded. Apple is willing to give me a whopping $90 for it. How generous of them.

Just like everything else

I am an engineer in Toyota and as part of our development program, we get to go and work as a member of the manufacturing plant for a month to experience Toyota Production System in action. I saw that each member on the assembly floor had expertise on two or more processes so that they could rotate from time to time, and they were also encouraged towards and rewarded for improvement ideas in the factory.

Agreed, it is an amazing feeling when you work with passion, precision and tranquility, can't imagine working in an environment as Apples factories or any factory like so.

The whole point of people only working one station is so they don’t learn how to build an iPhone for themselves or any other phone for that matter to not train the next competition

I mean I see what you mean but apple is technically employing a few 100s of thousands of people in pretty fair working conditions compared to some horrible working conditions in other places. It may not be the best living conditions in the world but it still lets them live a life outside of pure poverty.

@@jayk.7622 another woke convenient apologist... Come to such countries and try living their lives.... You will forever thank heavens for having born into a western country

@@jayk.7622 Ah..Apple fanboy, I see. Kid, a subcontractor is in someway an extension of a company. So, by supporting and tolerating the labor practices of a subcontractor, the company is also supporting the abuse. The most laborious part of the process is in the manufacturing of the product so it is expected that in one way or another, an abuse will come out from the manufacturing side, not on distribution centers/apple stores where salesmen and managers have "fair working conditions". I can't believe I have to explain this.

Im a dummy but didn't Marx write about how you can't exploit a machine so that alone won't make a surplus value or at least not as long as competitors are catching up with the automatization?

因为你没有上过大学，可能不能理解自动化远没有你理解的先进。自动化只适合非常单一的企业制造单一的产品比如矿泉水、雪糕、螺丝这种东西。当您要突然切换生产新的产品时需要非常昂贵的成本，何况是一直不断迭代的高科技电子产品。你指望每生产一台不同型号的手机就重新开设一条流水线吗？人工只需要简单的培训。

bias

yup, a lot of factories like this in east and south east asia. it's almost unbelievable how many people are willing to work in terrible conditions. and the part about the managers yelling is no exaggeration. i used to work in a clothing distributor in taiwan, and the manager was just CONSTANTLY YELLING. we had no clocks so we would just stop and listen. if there was no yelling that means break time 😂 it always makes me laugh when people complain robots are taking our jobs, as if anyone wants to work there in the first place

​@@beached1093exactly. Robots and AI will likely be revolutionary to the quality of life for all. Our biggest problems are overpopulation and all of these billions of people that want to overconsume. These machines could bring a golden age for humanity, in the best case scenario. Or It could, on the contrary, also cause a huge collapse. Guess we'll find out some day! 😂

@@ericzeng7833 Or just that's the reality we've all made. Ever since manufacturing has been mostly overseas, this is the result, and includes everyone's tech.

"Rare earth metals are totally not harmfull" -Apple

They make peanuts it IS exploitative...

@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td depends, relatively locally it's better than most jobs especially ppl from villages & the money does provide comfortable financial. compared to US it's probably less then 1/20 in terms of wage. both Apple & the Taiwan Foxconn make a massive margin in between which is just sickening when u look at the price of Apple products & its real costs...

Just because something is average like apples pay to its workers does not mean you should settle for it. A company like apple who’s worth more than a trillion and has Margin of more than 100% on a phone has the money to pay their workers USA minimum wage. However, they would never as their goal is to maximize profit and minimize loss. Like most multi trillion dollar companies.

@@pulkitmohta8964 good now I don’t gotta watch this😂I’m at 0:02

It’s not force It’s called pressure work Workers are free to leave the job

It's not forced labor. People ultimately flock to and stay in the factories because the pay is better than in their rural homes that don't offer any job at all. The accurate word here is "exploitation". They are exploited ruthlessly by Foxconn, to which the Chinese government gave green light to, then Apple, to which the American government gave green light to, then the retailers, then the consumers, who are also demanding the goods to be made "in an ethical manner". What a joke. It's like demanding poultry not shedding blood when harvested. We live in this dirty cycle and are all criminals in this regard, the keyboards we're typing with are made in the same fashion, not necessarily in the same factory but in the same region, by the same people. Better just shut up and be grateful to the hard work of these people, the only honorable thing in the whole mess.

Factory work is usually low skill. It’s the best option for people who lived rurally to transition to city life. They didn’t have great education to get better jobs. Companies like this will pay workers little because it’s such a small skill level. And of course it has a huge supply of man power.

@@12vtbfx37 The way Apples products have all plastic outsides except the screen and that Apple makes greenwashing that is an obvious sign that it pollutes. Also Apple phones are designed to break quicklly so that you buy new ones, making more pollution.

bot found

@@insectbite1714 while a few products have all plastic outsides, the majority are metal and glass. iPhones are either aluminum or stainless steel sandwiched in glass. Macs are aluminum. iPads are aluminum. I believe Apple TV is plastic as well as many of their accessories, however that is not necessarily a bad thing. Additionally, their products (excluding cables) generally last a long time, at least as long if not longer than the competition. iPhones are almost alway supported for year longer than android devices, although android manufacturers have gotten better in recent years, they still generally do not quite match Apple. Their macs, especially with M1, generally last a long time as well. Excluding the butterfly keyboard issues that some users had, which were repaired/replaced.

well its not a house bathroom xD

Ya not a household bathroom, but a large scale bathroom with 30 toilet and 20 shower rooms (like those in a big gym).

It’s a big bathroom with multiple (i don’t know how many) stalls and sinks and showers probably, very much like a dormitory. Although 8 people is crowded, sharing the same room sleeping in bonk beds is a pretty standard school/factory dorm setting. When I was in high school in China I slept in a 6-girl dorm room for a semester. It all comes down to cost, if you can afford single rooms or stay at home, great, but China is a country with big population so it’s not out of the ordinary to share space.

So you go to your local YMCA or gym and you'll see 200 people share "one bathroom".
