Lol. Thanks for the warning.

If the ruling is upheld, Apple could owe billions in back taxes

More generally, the marketeers must be creaming themselves over the market growth opportunities.

In 2010, a group of eighteen attempted suicide together with fourteen successes. Since then they've taken measures to contractually oblige employees to continue living and installed anti-suicide nets to catch (pun intended) those who aren't swayed by contractual terms.

These conditions make your quoted figures somewhat artificial.

Well then, Apple should be applauded. In the context of their extremely reasonable pricing (considering the cutting edge nature of their products compared to those of competitors and the significant costs incurred by manufacturing overseas), it's a testament to their fairness that their (indirect) staff are not driven past the point at which manufacturing rate would be negatively impacted by their staff's reluctance to continue living.

How do they score on the ratio of iPhones sold to factory-worker suicides?

It couldn't have worked out better if they'd paid for the 'opposition' from dealerships themselves. ^_^

Once again, I've got to disagree at a basic level with this reasoning. This is a cog in the machine of disempowerment; the belief that consensus is needed. The will of one mind is enough to keep am ideal alive and effect change.

And that there is the problem: "We are powerless should should not care. "

Hint: they do realize but don't care. Shame doesn't mean anything to the wolves - that's for the sheep.
