Jon Stewart Investigates FOXCONN

FIRST WATCH THIS VIDEO

We've all heard about the harsh labor conditions for the workers overseas in countries like China. Our distance from the issue however leave us to just frown upon it instead of really caring or doing anything about it. The biggest thing I got from this video is that it would only be about 20% more expensive to manufacture here. I know it may seem like a lot, but a $200 iPhone would now cost $240 dollars. $40 dollars is a lot of money, but not when you are spending $200 to begin with. Then to think about how it might boost our economy, would mean it would probably come full circle and help you as an individual working in America in the long run. However in a world where it's all about the money, I don't see this changing anytime soon. So how about only buying things made in the USA? Boycotting is usually only effective if enough people do it, and in American society I also don't see this happening. Although the politicians in the beginning of the video may have made some uneducated statements, they are on the right track. The most effective way to get through to corporations is buy giving them what they love the most, money. Passing legislation to discourage outsourcing and giving them an incentive to manufacture in America under our labor laws, is perhaps a start to solving this human rights violation and even fixing our economy.
