Here's A Fun Fact

You know those martigras beads that you can buy for like between $1 and $20 here in America?

The women in the sweat shops that produce them in China work 15-16 hour days and only make 1 US cent for every 12 necklaces they make.

In other words, they make about .08% per necklace they make.

They aren't allowed to speak while they work, and they are allowed hardly any bathroom breaks.

The owners' justification is that it's not AS BAD as slavery.

They make, on average, $1.5 million a year.

haha.....
what's wrong with people?
