Again, we're talking about a factory that beats its workers[0], faces them down in riots[1], hasn't paid wages on multiple occasions[2], negotiates against mass-worker suicide pacts[3], forces employees into overtime to fatal extremes[4] and blackmails the families of their workers[5].
Maybe, just maybe, giving authoritarian autonomy to a factory complex full of human workers is not a good idea.
Even if you go to the hypothetical extreme of pretending every single one those people committed suicide, it still doesn't give them a high suicide rate overall...
Maybe, just maybe, giving authoritarian autonomy to a factory complex full of human workers is not a good idea.
