False Alarm: Why The AppleFoxconn Debacle Clouds The Real Manufacturing Mess

shutterstock_71112382I was walking home last week and the entire street - and some of the sidewalk - was blocked by large fire trucks and a gaggle of firemen in full regalia. The ladder truck was already planted firmly on the asphalt, ready to send a stream of water soaring over nearby apartment buildings and more trucks were coming, clogging the one-way street further. Convinced I was about to see an inferno, I tentatively crossed the street. I assumed I'd be stopped and turned away. Instead, the firemen joked and jostled on the sidewalk and I saw a contractor arguing with someone I assumed to be a building resident. The contractor must have been welding - you could still smell the flux and the smoke - and the resident was clearly concerned.
