 Let's assume for a second, Apple goes away...
The reasons for this don't matter. One morning we all wake up to Apple closing it's doors.

So who will be the target of the rage now? Something it's telling me the system will not.

I got a candidate: DELL.

They are anti union, check

They produce their shit in a place like Foxxcon, mostly at Foxxcon, check

They give money to the RNC.

Oh and they run Microsoft in their systems...

Goodie.

Instead I suggest people wake up to the reality, since Apple is not going away, and actually Dell has a better chance.

IT IS THE SYSTEM. IT IS GLOBALIZATION.

Focussing all your anger at one company, that incidentally can afford not selling to you, you will be replaced by hundreds around the world, that we concentrate on the SYSTEM. that we demand the Appes, Dells, Microsofts and GEs of the world are taxed, even punitively so, for the conditions at the places of production. To their credit GE is bringing some home. It is time we demand they pay taxes in the US.

But blaming a single company is missing the full picture. And the full picture is not nice. 14

1. Couldn't disagree more.

No one would pay attention if we went with your approach. Just look at history.

If Nads speaks, but no one is there to hear her?  Is she still condescending?

What are "the Appes"?

A sub-chain of the Alps, perhaps?

Nah. I think Nads is from the planet of the appes...

Really, I thought she was more a Godzilla and Mothra type, given the nuclear milk and all.

Not sure, but I think it's bed and breakfast in the Dells.  Heard they had a great pad with Wi-Fi and electricity.

If no one hears her, suffice it to say, she'll just keep talking.

Yeah your are right, I was being insensitive to cows. However a fencepost is far smarter then she is.

Nads DEMANDS that corps pay more taxes.

Stupid DUmbasses have yet to realize corps DO NOT PAY TAXES!  It's called "trickle down".

Whatever expenses a corp incurs, it "trickles down" to US, the consumer.

F'N Dummies!   :hammer:

I believe it includes the Apennines, and not just them, but also the other eight lesser related mountain ranges.

Suffice it to say that Apple will be here long after socialism in the USA dies.

Speaking of socialists, Steve Dawes is running for Bellevue City council and has a new website: http://www.electstevedawes.com/

Well, Nads, we all know what happens when you ASSume. And as expected, you did not disappoint. :-)
