Yeah. China's establishment has been pushing it too far for too long. Their GDP and progress is built on the backs of slave wage labor... now, here we are.
I've been there. Those places are horrible. Windows above third floor are sealed and buildings have suicide netting. I've seen sixteen engineers elbow-to-elbow on plastic chairs and folding tables in a room the size of my bedroom. At some point, the people realize they have power in numbers. I wouldn't call it slavery but it's definitely oppressive.
Slavery is involuntary and poor working conditions by definition isn’t slavery. There is, however, slave labour taking place. It is not in Foxconn, it is in sweatshops. People don’t get bullwhipped, but they have ”debts” to people who own them until the debt is paid off. That is how slavery works.
What's crazy is that people want these type of governments in the US, equalling even more suffrage as you have described with work qualities, in essence yes it is slavery. Yeah, crazy times to live in. The "socialist communists" really need to visit these countries that are what they want to emulate and look at the actual conditions instead of the "shiny portrayal" that they provide.
There really isn't much hypocrisy. Having a modern cell phone in modern day society has become such a norm its almost necessary. You can feel free to want the people making your necessary device to have decent pay and working conditions.
Foxconn is poison. Ask the Wisconsin people who had their properties taken for a Foxconn property that did not fully develop, courtesy of a deal brokered by the former governor.
I was in China back in January for work. They are Tyvek suits worn to theoretically protect themselves from COVID. And yes, they look even more stupid and ridiculous in real life than they do on video. We always referred to them as "marshmallow men".
the entire factory is on covid lockdown i think. people were leaving the factory to avoid all the issues and they started offering huge bonuses to get people to stay.
Most workers walked out. They brought a new batch of workers promising them $3000 bonus for coming in and when they went in, they gave them $350. Classic bait and switch.
wait!!!!! this is china??????? and I dont see a single tank in sight? Seriously I think some big shit might behappening in china soon, I haven't seen a protest like this in a long time in china.
Where are the CCP tanks? We should respect how they want to run their country. Every country without exception has the government it deserves. I personally love their zero COVID policies. Hope they keep them forever. It has been so much easier to travel to Europe without running into zillions of Chinese tourists.
Is this today or the other day? I feel like apple with have to lose a high percentage of their slave force before there is a meaningful stock impact. Might be too early for puts
I'm only buying Puts when all these Chinese Foxconn workers finally remove their COVID masks. That's when you know sh!t is getting real and it's about to go down. We're not quite there yet.
If this was any other chinese company these protest would have been crushed a long time ago and nobody would have noticed, but because they make iPhones there are a lot of western eyes on this conflict and the CCP is trying to not lose face.
I just saw some announcement about how much Ryan cohen owns of AAPL was recently released. Curious how this combines with the news above? Y’all seem to love that guy here so I have a hard time believing someone would put AAPL based on humanitarian rights? Why start caring now?
Not a cell phone in sight. Just people living in the moment
Not a cellphone in sight
😂😂😂 I see what you did there! They didn't make them yet 🤭🤭
Hell yeah dude
and dayum, them peoples can lift
Gorgeous comment 👌
Calls on Chinese jails and tear gas
So this is why Michael Burry is jacked to the tits in Prison stocks. It all makes sense now.
Puts on CCP!!!
Call on organ havesting as well
The only tear gas the Chinese use is the kind that makes the families of protestors cry.
What's their number?
Calls on the rail company
It is very misleading title, resulted in bad responses.
People can only take so much. There is always a breaking point.
You coming to the Feb 2023 Trucker Convoy Protest Two - Electric Bogaloo with the face paint on or nah?
Yeah. China's establishment has been pushing it too far for too long. Their GDP and progress is built on the backs of slave wage labor... now, here we are.
I've been there. Those places are horrible. Windows above third floor are sealed and buildings have suicide netting. I've seen sixteen engineers elbow-to-elbow on plastic chairs and folding tables in a room the size of my bedroom. At some point, the people realize they have power in numbers. I wouldn't call it slavery but it's definitely oppressive.
You've been inside one of the factories? What's your backstory?
Tell more please
Yep, I’m an American electrical engineer and I have several college friends who have gone. It’s real shit
Slavery is involuntary and poor working conditions by definition isn’t slavery. There is, however, slave labour taking place. It is not in Foxconn, it is in sweatshops. People don’t get bullwhipped, but they have ”debts” to people who own them until the debt is paid off. That is how slavery works.
I'd call it modern slavery
If its not slavery what is ? It is modern slavery. No need to downplay it. Corporate greed sucks.
"slavery with extra steps"
I would definitely call it slavery
What's crazy is that people want these type of governments in the US, equalling even more suffrage as you have described with work qualities, in essence yes it is slavery. Yeah, crazy times to live in. The "socialist communists" really need to visit these countries that are what they want to emulate and look at the actual conditions instead of the "shiny portrayal" that they provide.
I was just at a dinner and some Boomer was telling me to bet on China. I told him he hasn't been fucking paying attention
[удалено]
People dont care.
Even if it's not a PR problem for AAPL, it still affects their supply chains and ability to make iPhones
The resolution is way better on the iPhone 14 pro.
Pooh Bear won't stand for this much longer. Back to dictatorship- normal within a few weeks.
Remember Hong Kong? Covid doused that fire pretty quickly.
Except this has nothing to do with the Pooh bear. Foxconn is a Taiwanese company
Chads, all of them
Agreed.
cheering them on, watching on my iPhone 14, oblivious to the hypocrisy🥰
There really isn't much hypocrisy. Having a modern cell phone in modern day society has become such a norm its almost necessary. You can feel free to want the people making your necessary device to have decent pay and working conditions.
I’m not too worried. China will successfully transform it to government property
Jesus, everything is priced in, foxconn workers protesting is priced in as they were build probably already
Calls on AAPL because they didn't damage as much property as was previously estimated by the institutions.
THIS is a beautiful sight.
Oh wow big corporations have slaves for cheap labor, so they can make record breaking profits. Do these executives have a conscience?
Dude this shit has been happening since the early 1990s....
Foxconn is poison. Ask the Wisconsin people who had their properties taken for a Foxconn property that did not fully develop, courtesy of a deal brokered by the former governor.
Scott Walker and Donald Trump? Bulldozing over poor people in the pursuit of more money for the insanely rich? Surely you jest.
Now we know why CCP says covid cases are "surging" in China. lockdown returning.
all these crowds make the surge believable
This is terrible, the worse news AAPL could ever have!
Man. I fucking love these factory workers let’s tear this whole charade to the ground.
Enjoy paying five grand for an iPhone.
capitalism you mean?
Rooting for them.
i watched this on my iPhone they made
my iphone is old enough that the people that made it may have already self ended
Apple, one of the largest companies in the world got that way through slave labor. Remember that.
Stop the Foxxconn slavery!
Slave labor??
Most American companies to this day. Y’all are happy to buy those products on Black Friday though.
-10000000 social credit score
i know it's a meme but this is literally what happened to the protesters here. They are fucked for life.
The poors fighting each other while the rich pick both our pockets.
The most legit comment here
But lgbqt are groomers so let’s keep cutting taxes for the rich
Q4 $AAPL not looking pretty
Q4 will be fine. Apple stores and Amazon will still have their millions of iPhones in inventory to sell. I don’t know about Q2 though
[удалено]
My new iPhone 14 pro max gets here tomorrow!
Got one of those pre-riot phones.
Free flowing of information is always good. Exposure corruption.
This will have fuck all effect on Apple's stock price.
Fuck those cocksuckers. Glad to see them taking it to them. Live free.
CCP should be cleanse in China. Destroy CCP.
Foxconn is a Taiwanese company
Hunger Games.
They went full hunger games. You never go full hunger games…
Thats why I keep buying YANG, eventually somethings gonna break in China.
Ok, I just found out this was a thing but it's pretty cool. $YINN is FTSE China 3x Bull and $YANG is FTSE China 3x Bear. Cool AF.
Those piglets bout to get zerged.
Foxconn also manufactures for Samsung.
Do they? I thought Samsung moved all their manufacturing to Vietnam a few years ago?
Incredible.
“Workers”
They now got negative credit
Oh wow. They really discriminate against barriers over there
Boolish AF!
An iPhone is not as important as their basic human rights.
Priced In
I don't know man, slavery is legal as long as Apple consumers are woke & preferrably vegan.
that's why they move on to india
India not the best for hard labor that’s why the British left
Scary watching Chinese ppl risking it to go protesting ..
post your puts and positions or shut the fuck up.
Why? Chinese lives are worthless to their own country
If you're an American I've got bad news for you
Why.... why would they dress the cops in white? So it's easier to see them bleed?
I guess those are covid suits
I was in China back in January for work. They are Tyvek suits worn to theoretically protect themselves from COVID. And yes, they look even more stupid and ridiculous in real life than they do on video. We always referred to them as "marshmallow men".
the entire factory is on covid lockdown i think. people were leaving the factory to avoid all the issues and they started offering huge bonuses to get people to stay.
I guess they are no cops. Only fellows who check people for covid + maybe security
Way more peaceful than a BLM protest.
Is that a Shriners convention?😳😂🙈
Puts on APPL and Foxconn.
Based and riotpilled.
Most workers walked out. They brought a new batch of workers promising them $3000 bonus for coming in and when they went in, they gave them $350. Classic bait and switch.
This has been going on for two weeks as of Friday (tomorrow).
Did AAPL go down when the workers were jumping off the roof of this factory? No
Does this mean we’re not getting the update?
Why the cops look like the people who scrape bodies off the road?
Fuk…. Stand by for another virus
Apple going to whip that ass back to work.
It's over. The police won. Look how quickly they took Hong Kong. Never short the Chinese police.
Oh they really aren't having it. Nice!
Sum ting Wong
wait!!!!! this is china??????? and I dont see a single tank in sight? Seriously I think some big shit might behappening in china soon, I haven't seen a protest like this in a long time in china.
Those are “big whites” not police. They are the “Health Workers” who are abusive and horrible but that is Government imposed powers - not Foxcon.
It disgusts me that Apple and many other U.S. companies manufacture there. It is modern slavery.
Like in squid games but the contests turned the tables on them
Apple is such a stupid asshole leaving this gaping flaming hole in their image with fucking slave labor.
So good. We need this worldwide, 24/7.
WAR!!!!!!!
Incoming REDACTED Square 2022.
Bullish AF
This is similar to Ferrix, episode 12 of Andor.
So what exactly is this all about? I’ve seen a few videos and pictures over the past 2 weeks or whatever but I haven’t heard much about why
Why aren’t they grateful? They have jobs
Where are the CCP tanks? We should respect how they want to run their country. Every country without exception has the government it deserves. I personally love their zero COVID policies. Hope they keep them forever. It has been so much easier to travel to Europe without running into zillions of Chinese tourists.
If this were Tesla, Elon would send robots on their sorry asses 😂
Is this today or the other day? I feel like apple with have to lose a high percentage of their slave force before there is a meaningful stock impact. Might be too early for puts
News? Really?
Load up on Android calls! Oh wait...
Imagine the Beatles playing in the background
And people say they don't like the Amazon Filfilment centers
Carful, Winnie the Pooh might order Tiananmen Square sequel.
but i thought only Qataries build using slaves..
looks like covid is out of control there.
This is what will happen if we allow unions in the USA
who cares? Ill just use my motorola pager and my dell optiplex computer.
Where is their thanksgiving spirit? Cmon you guys! Time to be thankful
Tanks made in the nearby factories rolling in soon.
So calls then. LFG boys!!!
Guy who took this video is dead no doubt and they’re using the video to identify others
What is Puts?
There goes their social credit score
I'll bet the footage was taken on a Chinese brand phone (think Xiaomi, Hisense), running some flavor of Android.
Ooriwijaaaah! Shingpingshiwaaaaaa!
this is so wild
I'm only buying Puts when all these Chinese Foxconn workers finally remove their COVID masks. That's when you know sh!t is getting real and it's about to go down. We're not quite there yet.
About time
Proof? Source? Location data? Just looks like another random video from China.
*video shot on iphone
Wild
The Chinese government has totally failed to consider the adverse psychological effect of locking people down for an extended period of time.
Bout time those guys got their ass beat.
One way out!
If this was any other chinese company these protest would have been crushed a long time ago and nobody would have noticed, but because they make iPhones there are a lot of western eyes on this conflict and the CCP is trying to not lose face.
Is this a scene from the Andor finale?
I heard this was just a Technical Issue
Calls on tank factories in China.
Oh fucking hell, first time I realised this is getting to be serious opposition to Xi Jinping's insanity.
I just saw some announcement about how much Ryan cohen owns of AAPL was recently released. Curious how this combines with the news above? Y’all seem to love that guy here so I have a hard time believing someone would put AAPL based on humanitarian rights? Why start caring now?
Well the iPhone 21 won't be released anytime soon
congrats to anyone who bought puts yesterday.
Nothing to be put on $AAPL
So...is this going to delay my iphone order?
yeah fcuk those Zero Covid Force
I bet aapl investors care at all. Maybe a bit if and only if stock price drops.
I’ve had puts since the beginning of the week. Apple has been holding steady, even pushing higher on bad news for a few weeks now. My puts lost money
Why?
Time to start planning for my liver transfer. So many cheap organs on the market soon.
We'll see if it dips tomorrow but probably priced in
Don't bet against Tim Apple
Their vaccine isn't worth a damn. They're still scared of covid.
Communist is the human mistake
Fuck CCP!!
