As glad as I am for these people, I find it sad that with 36 hour shifts and a boat load of hours, they're only bringing home roughly half, to a quarter of the amount of money it would take to buy some of the products they are building. Whats sad is that if American workers, or Euro workers were building these, the price would skyrocket about 200%. Would you pay 4 grand for a Mac, or 700 bucks for a PS3? Me either.

Yet I see plenty of factory line workers with cell phones, just not iPhones, and I noticed a street vendor in Kowloon this week sitting at his little stand surfing on a laptop, just not a Mac, or the newest PC. Until you've been here you don't know what the people have.
200% is a low figure by my estimates.
