Comment on Ask HN: Do you want to be a billionaire?parent

Comments

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?

Does Facebook exploit any of its workers? (I'm not being rhetorical, I truly haven't looked into it)

Oh, fair enough. I just believed the media.

As for Facebook I haven't heard anything about non-US workers, barely anything about non-tech workers except that painter who took stock.
