You can make a million or two doing something you love. But you can only make a billion or two by fucking someone over. There should be global tax regulation to make it pointless to earn over a certain amount. If you want to see change, change that. https://t.co/gWq532w6b6

Kids are categorized as "interns" and sometimes forced to take extra shifts.
Chinese factories are allowed to employ students 16 & older, but these schoolchildren are not allowed to work nights or overtime. They do. https://t.co/SJJHridjta
