A maid dangling from a high-rise window begged for help. Her boss filmed her instead

The floor looks clean in this high-rise apartment, seven stories above Kuwait City traffic. Not a smudge in sight on the picture window. On the other side of the glass, the maid is hanging on by one knuckle, screaming.
Oh crazy, come here, a woman says casually in Arabic, holding a camera up to the maid.
Hold on to me! Hold on to me! the maid yells.
Instead, the woman steps back. The maids grip finally slips, and she lands in a cloud of dust, many stories below.
The maid - an Ethiopian who had been working in the country for several years, according to the Kuwait Times - survived the fall. The videographer, her employer, was arrested last week on a charge of failing to help the worker.
Its still unclear what led to the fall. But it was not the first time a domestic servant had fallen off of a building in Kuwait, an oil-rich country where foreign workers are cheap, plentiful and live largely at the mercy of their employers.
Republicans look backwards but also look towards the middle east when envisioning their ideal future for American workers. There was a time when bosses beat and killed their immigrant or black workers and it would be declared a suicide. Make America Great Again!
