    “no business that wants to stay in business locks it’s fire exits”

    and yet…

    I’m not saying every business does this, just I think it’s short-sighted off you to say that not a single one would either.

    I mean we all know our candy bars, and sneakers and engagement rings are made by tiny children at gunpoint for 25 cents a week, so it boggles the mind that you think the same companies that would commit corporate genocide would think twice about preventing domestic employees from being comfortable.

      That is not people working in Western nations. This post was regarding a person working here making big claims this was a common thing. I can bs on that.

          Give me the source where a US company hired kids at 25c an hour and worked them under gunpoint.
