SHENZHEN, CHINA—Upset about the theft of one of the thousands of garments she had sewn, sweatshop worker Li Chen was devastated to hear Monday that the jacket she worked so hard on was looted. “It breaks my heart that I slaved away for 14 cents an hour in an extremely hot and poorly ventilated factory just to have my hard work stolen from Zara,” said Chen, explaining that it felt like she lost the tip of her finger sewing the lapel for nothing after learning that someone snatched the garment rather than paying the full retail price. “I don’t work 16-hour shifts so some person can waltz into a store and take the jacket I made without paying $85. It’s just absolutely devastating, that stitching was a nightmare. I should just take a pay cut to help out this poor company and everything they’ve been through. I feel bad for my shift supervisor who put his heart and soul into screaming at me to work faster.” At press time, Chen was comforted to learn that insurance covered the stolen item, and Zara would be just fine.\n

JediofGallifrey Got damn

JediofGallifrey Real Marxist shit 👍

Onion, I have so enjoyed reading your radicalization!

not funny

lot people in these comments not understanding what the Onion does.

Best one in awhile

They burned down a bunch of family businesses and sports bars as well, not just corporate chains. An African American lost his bar. So make a joke about the white liberals just using this as opportunity to act as senseless assholes and hurting innocent ppl

🤔🤨😯😳🥵😴

The onion don’t miss

The most reliable news source in America! Diolch good work.

Or the jacket she got paid pence to make sells for hundreds of dollars 🙋🏼‍♀️

She’s not devastated over the damn jacket. I’m sure she’s devastes over what she makes and the conditions she works under. 😡🤬

Haaaa makes me wish I majored in media now or back in the day journalism. Damn that's funny so glad your company is STILL hanging oh wrong choice of words still pushing nope....well you know what I mean. Prayerfully all this will stop so people who were never meant to die won't.

ACorollaries We need more good old American sweatshop jobs so people wouldn’t have to loot

Ms Onion, a little quieter, how very dare!

Easily the realest fake headlines on the internet. Keep up the good work. 💯

JustinWhang Gonna be that guy and say that these workers are exploited but without these jobs they would be living in even more abject poverty. It is a complicated situation.

You guys are just the best

Still pealing the layers of this

SAMOYEDCORE aaaaaahhhhhhhh 🙇

STOP MAKING ME LAUGH AT TIMES LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

Lol

🤣🤣

I just want to point out the ONE event where a nice area was looted doesnt represent the majority of the destruction. People lost businesses in already hurt communities. Let's make sure we finish the stores off and sell em on that poshmark thing for those stores lost

Unfollowed

AA bio-halluca attacks have had Man under the dog on the food chain for 100k years. How do you side full force with AA? the Cv-19 aggressor who continues to attack with bubonics to senses and rape during the pandemic. Im an early avid reader of the Onion 6' apart?

She can always make more.

Wonder if she would feel worse if hers was the only jacket left on the rail afterwards🤔

this headline owns but where are merch shirts made? i looked and it doesn't say anywhere.

Too soon? Not your best work and kind of racist.

SpokespersonCHN

Ivanka will order more.

Looting and wanton destruction is OK!

her work is EXCELLENT! I just haaaad to loot it! they don't pay her anything anyway... her satisfaction is entirely in the craftswomanship.

Wow

congratulations, they ended racism

help i'm running out of 🔥 emojis

Bet she was on pins and needles

If she's from Asia, yeah she probably is. Looters are considered one of the lowest forms of scum in Asia.

if those damned looters still had their sweat-shop jobs... woulda never happened!
