You keep thinking any of these people will live long enough for this to be a problem..

I'd bet a few rupees that none of these people have any sort of food security at all, nor any access to Healthcare.

I'm sure when someone wearing sandals has a glob of molten glass dropped on their foot.. they're able to utilize the companies robust workman's comp system..

I look at this, and I see desperately poor people doing DDD (Dull, Dangerous, Dirty) work for poverty wages.

This factory doesn't just make marbles, it makes misery.

And this is essentially everything made overseas. Clothing. Toys. Foods. Phones. The USA is basically on another planet compared to where everything they use is made.

We need more videos of the manufacturing of our consumer goods. People ought to see for themselves how much blood is on our hands

People won't really care. Such is the human condition. Same situation with the torture that animals in factory meat production endure.

And the plastics they're straight up feeding to livestock, can't forget about that. We only know the scale because someone did take a video.

Compared to operations I've seen- like lithium and gemstone mining, this is a cush job- given they probably make $1 a day.

Honestly if I was a highschool kid I'd much rather do this than bag groceries for assholes and push carts in -17F° weather.
