Yes we used to call that capitalist exploitation

How do you get productivity out of overworked, burned out people? It's beyond me how businesses have gotten away with this for so long

Masks will definitely help but this forecast is way too optimistic. We expect 61.5k Americans to die over the next 4 weeks. More accurate to say that the death toll could be 100k between now and Dec 1 if everyone wore a mask and double that if few people do.

While this is fantastic, I wonder if they will be able to enforce it. Working 12 hours a day six days a week is absolutely ruthless and those companies need to change their practices.

What kind of world do we live in when its the Chinese government who is calling out employers about abuse in the work place? These are the same people who have been abusing the Uyghur. We in the US can't say anything since we got our own abuses going on.

Really. This is the socialist Utopia? No labor unions allowed in China. No wonder the Republican business men gave our industry to Communist China.
