     The USA is in an economic hole because the government spends too much, not because tech companies out source their manufacturing needs.  American people need to replace everyone in Washington and put in people who will not work for their own interests, but for the country.

I don’t expect 6 hour work days and full health insurance for every worker, but i would like it if they got breaks at least every four hours, no days longer than 16 hours and at least one 24 hour day off for every six worked.  I’ve worked shifts like this when I was younger and it’s not fun but totally doable. I’m not sure what the cost of living is like in China but working 80 hours a week should certainly net you twice what you need to pay rent, food, clothing and other essentials. Anything less is not fair- time and a half for hours over 40 per week is pretty reasonable too.  What would it cost Apple maybe 2% of it’s profit? Totally worth it, I’d even be willing to pay 2% more for my next apple product. I think most people would.
