  1. This article interested me most because of my own personal interest in Apple products. It's really a bit of a torn issue in my own mind. We really do need more middle class jobs etc in America, but it would seem that we wouldn't be able to keep up with our own demand for these products. I would assume that some sort of statistics would have to be used to prove that as opposed to just a quote from an Apple executive, but it seems to make sense. I'm not really economically savvy enough to really give an opinion on what SHOULD be done in regard to the situation, but the reasoning as it stands seems to make sense. But I also guess that given my own consumerist values and such, it's somewhat natural for me to think that way. Somewhat disappointed in myself now that I think about it.
