Tim’s take

He treats Foxconn as shorthand for corporate exploitation, always coming back to the suicide nets outside the Apple factory as the go-to detail 38:42 33:05 32:48 29:46. He mocks Trump for citing the company as a jobs win and race-relations triumph, treating that as absurd on its face 38:42 43:46. Beyond the joke, he does make the point that global supply chains run on slave and child labor with Foxconn as the standing example 55:36 29:46.
