That's because THE MAN don't want you to KNOW! He just needs you to be a good little WORKER DRONE, toiling away in your SLAVE SHACK, day after day, man! THE CORPORATION can't be having any REALITY trickling into their little worker bees' minds! Free thought hurts the BOTTOM LINE!

That or you missed the story because it hasn't been that highly publicized.

Finally saw this in the headlines... A guy at work made a good point though, out of nearly 1 million people, are those suicides really statistically out of the ordinary? How many people top themselves each day usually?

Looks like he was right.

Suicide rate in China is 14 people per 100k.

So an 800k company should have 112 suicides per year in fact.

Vid not available in the UK. But it sounds loltastic.

Thing about statistics regarding suicide rates is they don't tell you most suicides in China take place in the countryside, and old women are the usual victims. Young people in cities, not so much, and that's why this shit is hitting the publicity fan.

Me? I don't know about you guys, but I prefer my coffee seasoned with starving children's tears. I don't see why my take on electronics should be any different.
