Suddenly my 1st world problems seem minimal in comparison. We really benefit all the time from the long hours, horrible working conditions and abysmal pay of millions of people.

Alternatively, the "horrible pay" has brought about 200,000,000 people out of subsistence farming into a middle class. Foxconn employees make more than most university graduates in China. Pay is entirely relative.

could you provide a link to this clame please, am very surprise about that

I can confirm that It's true

 

You may heard of those Foxconn suicides news before

i'm not cold-blooded but the reason why so many Foxconn employees commited suicides inside their factories? Unlike 99.999% of chinese companies, they pays a hugh sum of death gratuity to the surviving family members. If they are going to end their lives no matter what, die as a Foxconn employee can actually help their family.
