Think different about slave labor

The Corner: "Apple Supplier Charged with Exploiting Uyghur Forced Labor."

I understand that corporations are not altruistic angels, but no company huffs on their own sweet farts like Apple.  They have a commercial running right now with Lady Gaga and Lisa Simpson that strongly implies the Apple Macbook is responsible for all artistic creativity and world-changing activism in the world.

Apple can't immediately know if a supplier is breaking it's rules. And the various companies that produce stuff for Apple and a LOT of other U.S. companies have done these sort of shinanigans before. And it has been Apple that fixed the problem the fastest. Apple isn't perfect, but I'd trust them a lot more than I would pretty much any other company in the world - or our government.

So don't pile on Apple just because some supplier broke the rules. And keep in mind that Apple isn't the only one using that supplier.
