It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

To the first part, to my knowledge they only care about health and safety in specific cases, but they allow for working conditions with things like lead, asbestos, toxic chemicals, etc. Foxconn is the first example that pops into my head, where workers were searches and beaten, and some were committing suicide. And back when China was buying US E waste, workers would be scavenging through dangerous phosphors and mercury, plus some mild lead exposure.
To the second part, I am not comparing China to the US, I don’t believe the US government is good either, so that’s irrelevant
Foxconn is a Taiwanese company, headquartered in Taipei. While China has a ways to go on working conditions, the overall trend (as with pretty much every other metric) is that their conditions continue to improve due to increasing regulation, ours continue to decline in the dearch for increasing profits. I’m definitely hoping they achieve a better work/life balancr, although having been to Taiwan, I’ll say they certainly can’t throw any stones in that department either lol
Yes foxconn is taiwanese, but the factories I’m talking about are in Shenzhen China, therefore subject to Chinese labor laws. I do agree that things are improving over there, but they have a long way to go before I would say the country cares about health and safety of everyone
