Foxconn Suicides Are Officially Out of Control

Alright, this is getting way out of control, they are now committing suicide two at a time at Foxconn and there is another person on the roof as we speak. This means you can add another five deaths to the list since our last report, maybe six depending on how the current situation ends. Honestly, this is just too depressing to report on anymore.

According to a string of Tweets, reports, pulled (allegedly censored) reports and rough translations, now 15 Foxconn employees have jumped in attempted suicide—two of whom seem to have been part of a successful double suicide earlier today. To make matters worse, a potential 16th was spotted on the roof in the picture seen here.

I don't feel like Stargate coming to life right now. >_<

Wrong replicators (I think).

 

[remixedcat]

I mean the star trek kind. a device that makes other things like food, computers, general items... stuff like that.

 

[C0RR0SIVE]

Well, that would be nice... though... Stargate replicators could do that also...

 

[Yami]

Technically yes, but whatever they made would be made of blocks, and constantly trying to kill you. And to replicate.

 

[S0ULphIRE]

Don't feel bad c0rr0sive, advanced beings from another galaxy thought that too

XE.com: United States Dollars (USD) to China Yuan Renminbi (CNY) rate

imo thats a really really sad attempt 1 $ american is equal to 6 almost 7 yuan, and they have to pass a 3 month performence test like wtf.

1 yuan is 14 cents american that means after 3 months of performence testing they can make 280$ a month. that is utterly discusting, thing over there arent relatively cheap either. i hear its like 60000$ canadian to buy a house there... our dollar is preaty close to the american one at worst thats 55000$ american rough estimate, how at all in there life time can they ever eve hope to own a home or support a family.

Houses are a bad comparison, as its the land that is expensive... Its an island.

But yes.... Just shows why we're lazy and theyre so productive...
