    Foxconn certainly doesn't need the coronavirus problem now too... besides Wisconsin workers who want an American wage.

    But now Foxconn has learned something many of us know: anything Donald touches, becomes infected, dies, and rots.


    Good old Andrew Cuomo spent 750 million on our Tesla Gigafactory, and it is doing the same thing. It’s just sitting there, not producing anything. 
    Wrong.  Factory is operating, employs over 1,500 people, and does in fact produce parts for the supercharger network and Tesla’s solar cell business.

    Sign in to Facebook and check the comments on South China Morning Post. Great lesson why we should never ever manufacture in China again!
    Stay safe and healthy!
    If it's posted on FaceBook, then it MUST be true.

  • Coronavirus forces massive AAPL hit, Microsoft earnings warning


    This isn’t looking good.  China has done a good job containing the virus (despite criticism) but it’s spread globally seems inevitable.  

    I’m particularly concerned about reports of patients having been cleared (after being infected) then having the virus being detected again later (and sick).  What’s happening?  Is the virus living on surfaces longer than expected and the persons coming in contact with it again?  That doesn’t seem likely.  Does the virus have the ability to go dormant in the body then have a resurgence?  This would mean 2 weeks of isolation isn’t good enough.  Also, all those temperature reading to determine if someone is infected doesn’t mean squat.
    The flu has killed 14,000 people in the US this year, and sickened over 25 million.  That's only in the US.  Worldwide, the flu has killed nearly 1 million people this year. 

    In comparison, this has killed 2,462 people on the entire planets, no one in the US.    There is no indication that healthy people with a normal immune system are at risk of death.

    You realize that child labor is banned in all western nations? I hope you consider sending your children to work in such conditions because you believes that its fine for others. 
    Child labor is not "banned" in any western nation. In the US, children between 14 and 16 can work limited hours in certain occupations, and children over the age of 16 can work unlimited hours in certain occupations. A significant number of part time workers in fast food and retail are under the age of 18. 

    The US is one of the most restrictive, In Canada, children as young as 12 can work with similar restrictions on the nature of work and number of hours. 

    In the European Union, children over the age of 14 can work.
