That is not people working in Western nations. This post was regarding a person working here making big claims this was a common thing. I can bs on that.
all my examples previously were USA.
Give me the source where a US company hired kids at 25c an hour and worked them under gunpoint.

Again you provided a source for countries that have employees child labor of which the US is not on there or no Western nations.
Is there a reason you would give sources that have nothing to do with what has been claimed here?
you're saying no American companies use cotton or lithium ion batteries?
A person said a place he worked at would not let them drink water for 6 hours and I called bullshit. Then you try and claim it must be true because shit happens in other countries. Tell me what American company is forcing kids or anyone to work at gunpoint so that you can't even get a glass of water?
you've conflated several of my points that were in reply to your specific questions. I think you should go back and read what you asked me for.
Because I shouldn't have to go back to the initial post and reiterate it in every responce because you go on a tangent and start posting unasked and unrelated information.
I only responded to what you asked. I was assuming you had a point at the end of it all.
I still maintain its not that silly that one person once worked in a place where they had draconian rules about what you could do while working.
