The workers live on bare minimum, they can't even afford a apple stock of the 15 billion Apple stocks.

    Ah, you're right... so, why aren't they manufacturing in the USA if there is nothing greedy about it?

      Everyone suddenly became so concerned about the wellbeing of the worker during the iPhone's pre-production months, like they weren't other smartphone manufacturing facilities operating nonstop, around-the-clock, every day of the year. Igniting outrage purely for the sake of appearing as the labor movement's champion. What a bunch of pretentious kids.

            Like any self respecting billionaire...exploit someone somewhere to get rich off of their labours lol.

            Properly tax the rich and the world will start recovering.

                        Anonymous, 10 Aug 2024Wikipedia, that anyone can edit? 🤣There are sources listed right after. And because I told myself I won’t argue with trolling/bullsh*t anymore and that I‘d outsource that to AI, here‘s the answer for that


                        While it's true that anyone can edit Wikipedia, several factors ensure its reliability and credibility:

                        1. **Editorial Oversight**: Wikipedia has a robust system of checks and balances. Experienced editors and administrators monitor changes and enforce guidelines to ensure accuracy and neutrality. Unvetted edits are often quickly reviewed and corrected if necessary.

                        2. **Citations and Sources**: Wikipedia articles are required to be based on verifiable sources. Claims need to be backed by reliable references, making it difficult for false information to persist.

                        3. **Consensus Building**: Content disputes are typically resolved through discussion and consensus among editors. This collaborative approach helps in maintaining the quality and reliability of information.

                        4. **Transparency**: Wikipedia maintains a history of all edits made to an article. Users can trace changes, view discussions, and see how content has evolved over time.

                        5. **Community Standards**: Wikipedia has strict guidelines for content and behavior. Editors are expected to follow these standards, and violations are addressed through established processes.

                        Overall, while Wikipedia is not infallible, its structure and community efforts work together to provide a reliable and accurate resource.


                        So if someone is full of sh*t (like you), they‘d be banned from editing. And you also need at least 500 verified edits for your new edits to even show up without further verification. Before that, your edits are not shown without independent verification.
