[quote:Anonymous Coward 23182389:MV8xNDY4ODUwXzM0MDU5NTI0X0I3NkUwRDcz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 3940512:MV8xNDY4ODUwXzM0MDU5NDI5X0M4MUQxQkY5] 5 steps to bring back our jobs. 1 - Universal Healthcare - Rest of west has it - all the jobs are going places that either have this, or have 3rd world conditions in which healthcare involves death in the street. 2 - College for All - Most students in western countries get paid monthly to attend college.. Say what you want about this - it leaves USA now in the 15th and 17th and 23rd places on things like math, science, and even basic reading - at all... literacy is falling away here. 3 - Technical School for those who cannot make it into college - In most western countries, students are paid monthly to attend technical schools after high school, if they cannot or do not want, to attent 2-4 year university 4 - State pensions for all. SS guarnateed for all. Double the SS exemption. Companies do not want to pay these... Its obvious. 5 - Market protectionism, tarrifs, VATs, etc. - Just look at what China does to US companies trying to import into their country for some ideas - or look at what USA was doing in the time of and before Raygun... And what NAFTA in particular ended\changed. [/quote] Well, folks, that's what the ultimate libtard looks like. ^^^^ [/quote]

Factories making sought-after Apple iPads and iPhones in China are forcing staff to sign pledges not to commit suicide, an investigation has revealed.
At least 14 workers at Foxconn factories in China have killed themselves in the last 16 months as a result of horrendous working conditions.
Many more are believed to have either survived attempts or been stopped before trying at the Apple supplier's plants in Chengdu or Shenzen.
