The difficulty of having an entire business that earns you a billion while paying a living wage, let alone the supply chain. See Apple's efforts to be green (eg mercury free in 2010-ish) but Foxconns' suicides.
Are you talking about the suicide rate that's lower than the general Chinese population?
