Hey Pandora team- When will you guys strike a deal with Foxconn?

[richiz]

Think the abuse behind chinas economic miracle will come to a close as younger generations simply refuse to put up with it.


Foxconn makes me


*edit


Oh and maaaaybe it's a little unfair to compare a 1st world pressurised education system to the slave labour of one of the worlds poorest countries where life is literally worth 20 cents an hour. But that's just IMHO.

 

[Sielle]

I'd never have anything to do with a company like FoxConn.


I'll leave that to drunks like Steve Jobs. Karma will catch up with him.

Karma or his liver, and currently it looks like his liver will get him first.

I'm glad it is. I wouldn't want to pay premium price for all our goods. Go cheap labor! I don't buy any of that Karma stuff anyway.


It's not our job to fix their problems. If they don't like the situation it is then they need to resolve it from the inside.

The world’s 4.4 billion adults, notes the new Credit Suisse research, now hold $194.5 trillion in wealth. That’s enough, if shared evenly across the globe, to guarantee every adult in the world a $43,800 net worth.


The world’s richest 1 percent, adults with at least $588,000 to call their own, hold 43 percent of the world’s wealth, all by themselves.

Heh. Maybe he lies awake at night and drinks due to guilt.

It's good to be the king. All are not equal, to distribute the wealth equally is folly.

What can I say, we are a traders nation


But, not really. Many Dutch people would agree with you (of course they are socialist hippies...and wrong ).


<edit>Actually, my stance warrants some more detail.


Most people want to be rich but don't want others to be poor. This is impossible as without one the other would not exist.


If all are equal then there is no incentive to perform and life and innovation will stagnate. Whereas inequality creates competition, it is in competition that we thrive.


I'm not claiming there should be no bounds on either end of the spectrum, but I believe a country and its people have both the right and responsibility to determine these bounds and not foreign powers.

Many people on this forum are among the world's richest 1%. Especially those paying $1000 for a Pandora on Ebay.


Preaching to the choir....

Don't wish, act. Stop buying their products if you disagree with their policy and convince others to do the same.
