    Like I said, I assumed you knew Foxconn the company wasn't Chinese, and that the Foxconn factories in China were Chinese.

    That's what I get for assuming you knew something.

    And the only way your logic works is if the Foxconn factories in China weren't owned by Foxconn.

    No, it works because the people who manage them are Chinese communists, in China.

    Yet the company itself is capitalist, produces profits for its managers and shareholders, and produces pollution that kills people.

    You think socialism doesn't produce profit?

    It produces a lot of profit. Just for fewer people.

    Ask the Chinese Foxconn employees throwing themselves off the building.

    You mean the companies employed to merciless capitalist standards by Foxconn? Or is Foxconn forced to treat its employees like they do?

    No, that's the Chinese who manage the plants.

    You do understand if Foxconn built a company in the US how that wouldn't happen, I hope.

    Foxconn has zero say over how their plants are run? They are forced to continue operating plants that mistreat their workers?

    Yeah. The country they're in does.

    Do you know how this works?

    A company fronts the cash to build a factory in a foreign country. Said country then runs that plant according to the laws of the host country.

    Are you under the impression Foxconn is a one-world government?

    Wait, so you are saying that it is illegal for Foxconn to treat its employees in China humanely and that it is illegal for Foxconn to not do business in China?

    Oh yeah that's what I'm saying.

    You know, because if Foxconn built a factory in the US they could just ignore US law.

    Their factory would basically be like foreign soil.

    Please cite the law in China that mandates Foxconn’s employees be treated inhumany and also cites the law that makes it illegal for Foxconn to cease operating in China if their plants have inhumane conditions.

    I can't help that you can't get how idiotic it is to claim that Foxconn is helpless in how their Chinese factories are run.

    Because you oppose human dignity (Universal access to health care), and because you want to steal entitlements (Social Security and Medicare).

    Republicans should stop demanding devastation of Social Security and Medicare, that way they can attract more people on their side.
    Right now people are desperate, so they elect socialists.
    It 100% Republicans' fault.

    No one in the U.S. is denied health care. Evens illegals get health care.

    Steal entitlements? We need to get out of the SS Ponzi scheme and privatize the program. If your SS was privatized, you could have retired at 50 or 55 instead of 65.

    Yeah! The genocide here after the introduction of universal healthcare was right up there with the Holocaust.

    I know! Everyone remembers the massacre of trade unionists in Amsterdam, and the purging of academics in Oslo, amirite?

    So people who have no health insurance can just get medical treatment even if they cant afford to pay? Someone needs to tell my government as they dont have a reciprocal healthcare agreement for their citizens in the US like they do for citizens in First world countries. Were always warned if we get sick in the US well get slugged with massive bills f ou r treatment that's very cheap here.

    When “poor” people go to a hospital, their bills are usually just written off.
