You might think you’re paying a lot for your phones, but people who are making it are paying way more. Nope, not talking about Apple, Samsung or HTC, or any brand. But the people who are really assembling it, or giving these companies the minerals to make the phones, give their lives, about 5 die from one mine per week, just as an example. And the kids, right KIDS who assemble our phones? They are paid about £2.38, when seen as a per phone cost. But their profit margins include a hefty £500-600 on every phone sold. China is the hub for manufacturing, but unethical one, when looked deeper. It’s about time India does it with grace and show the world 🌍

When the Barbie movie was being shoved down our throats, I decided to look up where they manufactured the doll. Well, it's never been manufactured in the U.S., I learned. Because Mattel outsourced the manufacturing to a few Asian countries, where they would save on labor costs. Even when the doll became a big hit and was selling like wildfire, however, they never brought the labor back to the U.S.. I suspect because greed was too powerful a force for them to resist. I have the understanding now that the exploitation of cheap, child labor has been an ongoing reality for much longer than we realize today. Meaning, it's been no secret between governments, corporations, and others involved in the exploitation. But socialist China's dictatorship, like many politicians these days, just keeps on lying about it to cover their tracks.

More than 90% of the Iphone are on EMI, even a 30,000₹-40,000₹ per month earner can afford an Apple phone. Can we still consider it as status symbol good?
