“You can either manufacture in comfortable, worker-friendly factories, or you can reinvent the product every year, and make it better and faster and cheaper, which requires factories that seem harsh by American standards,” said a current Apple executive.

“And right now, customers care more about a new iPhone than working conditions in China.”

Edit: Fuck you, copy+paste.

Can someone responsible change the title to the article title?

Edit 2: Done.

Edit 3: Never fucking mind.

Best thread title right here folks.

Also, who is surprised that consumerism trumps human rights?
