There was this story about a farmer who went to the judge and complained that he and his family of 8 live in a two-room crowded place. The wise judge said I will make it nicer for you but you have to do exactly as I say. Upon agreement, he asked him to bring the chickens in the house that night. The next day complaining about the noise and the smell, he was told to add in the two goats. And when on the third day he complained about all the problems, he was told to add in the cow. Finally, with the situation out of control the judge told him he can take all the animals out and the farmer came back the next day to tell the judge how pleased he is because he now had so much space and the place is so clean and comfortable! I was thinking about this story (of relativity) this week for three reasons:

Linked to Musa sweatshop in Jordan
Foreign guest workers from Bangladesh were trafficked to Jordan and stripped of their passports at the Musa garment factory in the Al Hasan Industrial park. The guest workers are housed in crowded, primitive company dorms sleeping 10 to a room in double-level bunk beds. Water was available just one or two hours a night. The dorm was infested with bed bugs. The workers describe the food they were fed as terrible—half-cooked and too little. Before the Wall Street meltdown led to a global recession, the guest workers at Musa were forced to toil 12 ½ to 13 ½ hour shifts, from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. All overtime was mandatory. They were required to work seven days a week, putting in an obligatory 6½ hour shift on Fridays, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.—supposedly their day off.
The workers are paid 75 cents an hour. Six workers were imprisoned and forcibly deported in July. Six more workers remain imprisoned. The workers are terrified and some have gone into hiding. The Musa factory is owned by two Israeli businessmen, Jack Braun and Moshe Cohen.
