[quote=Vortex] Perhaps it would be so bad if the building they worked in were safe, the machines they use safe, they had workers rights and had a decent minimum wage. But no that will never happen as corporation seem to run the Government these days [/quote] If they ran the government, they wouldn't be doing business in Thailand. Corporations (like every other entity) are governed by rational self-interest. In other words, they do what makes sense -- that means getting the most for the least expense possible (which is something everyone should aspire to, as I'm sure the environmentalists in the thread would agree). Governments are self-interested as well, both here (which is why they allow free trade and/or pass tariffs in a way that best accommodates their revenue) and abroad (which is why foreign governments allow corporations to invest in building infrastructure and bringing expertise into their country in exchange for lower labor costs). It's easy for us to think 'Well [b]I[/b] would never want to work in those conditions!' But remember, even back when Foxconn (the iPhone manufacturer) had all those worker-suicide publicity problems, the line to work in [i]that exact factory[/i] was around the block. Also bear in mind that half of what you hear is information warfare. When American car manufacturers were on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly we got non-stop reports about Toyota cars malfunctioning (later reports would suggest that the 'malfunction' was actually driver error -- pushing the gas instead of the brakes, and reporting it as a 'possible stuck accelerator'). All that to say.... it's generally wise to spend less time worrying about what you think other people should be wanting, and worry about improving your own life as ethically as possible.
