The quote of the day comes from Warren Buffett, a man apparently full of hot air, who said that factories in China have different norms for working conditions than those in the U.S., and he won’t “tell the world how to run” their businesses.

Different norms.

That’s one way to put it.

If you’re the world’s richest man, you gotta find some way to live with yourself.

Ouch.

I think the thing that makes me cringe the most about this is the fact that we know of SOME human rights violations as they exist in China, but how much is being covered up by the Communist government? I like to ponder conspiracy theories as much as the next person, but I still can't help but wonder at the atrocities that take place under the radar of American capitalism.

Have you seen Radiohead's latest music video? Your post reminded me of it.
