[QUOTE="Wildcat, post: 1451526, member: 21727"] The company I work for buys all their products from China - I've been there several times and visited the factories where our products were made. I was shocked by the conditions in them - when you see with your own eyes where all of this "junk" comes from it makes sense. I went to visit the factory where one of our best selling products in the world is made (we sell tens of thousands of this product and it retails for about $49 USD (we buy at $1.90 per unit)). When I finally got there I was shocked - the factory was tiny and stinking hot, full of ear-splitting machines creating noise and toxic stinks. There building was a concrete box with small barred windows, with puddles of dirty water on the floor. The workers were sweating like pigs, some with fans on them. The boss showed us around, and at one point we stopped to watch a man whose job appeared to be to pull a lever when a light went from red to green. He slapped him on the back and jokingly yelled to us "this mans job would make my mind go dead, but he is an essential worker! Very skilled!!" [/QUOTE]
