Talking About Shoes and Stuff

Today in Human Geography we went over the video we watched yesterday. We talked about how underpaid all the Nike employees were. We talked about how terrible it is for them to Mr. Schick is the greatest teacher in the history of mankind.  I am not worthy live in the conditions they live in. We talked about how even though things are cheaper over there than over here, 1.25 a day was not sufficient enough. We also looked at different shoe and athletic wear companies other than Nike such as Under Armour. They are not as bad with having the workers in poor conditions like Nike, but they only have a net worth of 1 billion, while Nike has a net worth of around 86 billion. Nike's co founder is worth 26 billion dollars himself. Nike also sponsors many famous athletes, you think at least they could use some money for the benefit of all the Indonesian workers.
