Make sure you have the barf bag handy.
Some of you may be struggling under the delusion that third world sweatshops are bad, what with the slave wages, extra long hours, autocratic bosses, lack of unions, military dictatorships that imprison/shoot union organisers, suicides (eg Foxconn) etc. But no! According to this economics professor at a nice comfy US university who doesn't have to ever go near one himself they're actually *good* for you. Oh and in case you didn't realise working for 70 cents a day is actually something that people do out of their own free choice, as opposed to total desperation. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story I always say!
