      A sweatshop is where people, namely children and the elderly, work for wages that could not even afford food and water or possibly even no wages at all. In many cases the people are not allowed to leave. Noteworthy past examples include Nike Sweatshops in east asia including Pakistan, Indonesia, and India.

      Similarly, Apple runs Sweatshops in India, and in December of 2020 a riot broke out where the unpaid workers trashed the facility that assembles iPhones.

        You were referencing Costco. Cite examples of alleged Costco sweatshops please.

        And since you’re introducing the Apple example, cite that specifically please. Interested to learn more of India and Apple
