I’m still currently listening to Mr. Daisey right now and I
have to start off by saying I will never ever use an apple product ever again
in my life. I honestly cannot believe that a store that projects themselves to
be one of the top companies when it comes to phones, tablets, and laptops would
honestly be this bad. I kind of want to know exactly how many people would
continue using Apple products after listening to this segment. I don’t know
exactly how much extra it would cost if these products were made here in the
United States. I mean I could never think about wanting to kill myself because
of how much I dislike my job. This segment actually truly bothered me right to
the heart. I almost grabbed everything my wife had that was made by Apple and
threw it in the trash, but that wouldn’t have gone well. On top of all of this
the workers that work here could be thrown in jail for being in a Union. I mean
imagine being thrown in jail for speaking the truth about saying that the way
someone over you at a job is doing it the wrong way. Or imagine being black
listed from a every job in a country because you speak out and say that you
want to be paid overtime for working overtime. It is funny how our government
doesn’t tell Apple that they have to shut down Foxcon. Add to this that these
people that create the products don’t even get to use them because Apple isn’t
even being used in China. I fully agree with Mr. Daisey when he says, “That if
workers ever lined up next to each other like they do and take their lives so
publicly would be on the national news.” I have to pose a question to everyone
do you still support Apple? Do you still want to get the new Iphone 5? Do you
realize that the Iphone 4S itself at retail value is at least 650 dollars and
can even get up to the price of 850 dollars. It is pretty bad when Apples own people
go over to China and stop working with a company because the company refuses to
use adults instead of children. Apple really needs to change the way they go
about their business or else I will never buy another Apple product and I
definitely won’t let my children have them. Everyone wonders about what is destroying
this world, what is causing some people’s hearts to go cold. Well you don’t
have to look too far if you have an Apple product because that is the first
thing you should look at. I believe Apple is the first company we are hearing
about doing this, but to think they are the only ones is ludicrous. How can we
expect them to change if we ourselves won’t? I ask myself now, what products I
own were made in sweat shops and would I still use the products I have if I
knew the answer to that question. It really makes me wonder. I hope when the
day comes that I find out that I can say to heck with this I refuse to use that
product now, but I won’t know until that day comes. So I pose a question to
anyone who reads this, what will you do if you find out the phone you use was
made in the type of conditions that are described in this segment? Will you
still use your laptop, phone, or any other electronic device if you find out some 14 to 15 year old kid in a sweat
shop made it?
Then you may as well swear off using fridges, freezers, many electric tools, cellphones, electric razors, cars, motorbikes, and a whole plethora of other items that are the products of production lines in China.
ReplyDeleteAnd I will gladly continue to use my own items, considering that it may have kept that particular 14 or 15 year old kid from becoming a whore, drug-dealer, gang-member, or homeless child.
