This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
parislemon: A lot of people have asked for my take on The New York Times piece yesterday about the true cost of making Apple products in China. Let me first just say that it’s an important piece full of good reporting by Charles Duhigg and David Barboza. Parts of it are very sad — sickening, really. But let’s be honest. The post focuses on Apple because Apple is now arguably the most successful...
