Should lead to increased apple profits, maybe? Actually don’t know. Foxconn slave camps are very cheap, even with the nets installed to catch the suiciding child workers.

The nets aren’t to save the ones jumping but to keep them from smashing anyone else when they hit. Sad but true: sometimes suicides from a great height strike and kill someone else walking by.
