How we all love the lands much far away 8-)..
I think we should change the subject of this thread to Kenyan "Pineapple and Flower Farms".

If we happen to arrive to a verdict from such a discussion, we will be sure to effect it or offer some kind of report considering the cases are just a few miles from our computers ;-).

The Apple insight is similarly good only that we cant effect or change anything - not unless Steve Jobs is on the list.

I think that the uproar the situation at foxconn caused gave me a bit of hope over the state of humanity.....it might yet be saved.

This post is absolutely baffling that I suspect it was meant as a joke.

So I'll just LMAO and pretend it was.

It is nothing to do with charity or Apple.

My point is the whole point of outsourcing is to make some things
someone else's problem. You outsource transport because you don't want
the hassle of fleet management, fuel cards, garages & mechanics, etc.
Those things become the problem of the company you outsource to.

Same thing with watchmen. When you employ them it is up to G4S to make
sure the guy is paid, insured, medical etc. That watchman is not
actually your employee. Ergo if it is discovered that G4S is somehow
not treating their employees well (NOT THAT THEY ARE NOT!!) how then
does it become your fault?
