My pension. When "jokes" like this hit the frontpage of HN, I am reminded that every dollar I put into my 401k will never see the light of day. The FTC should be mauling Apple for resting on anticompetitive laurels, but instead they're letting them grow fat and become a high-risk business. If you're not filing for retirement tomorrow, you should be considering the consequences this will have when you turn 65. Letting Apple fuck off and manufacture high-margin designer is terrible for America in the long-term.
The economy is not as simple as "don't buy the product then" at Apple's scale. Look at how John Deere transitioned from a blue-chip brand to an Oracle-level scourge on humanity. I don't want Apple to head down that same road, but we might be too late to save them at this point.
I’m sorry but you can’t expect me to take you seriously if your position is a small collab with a Japanese design studio to make an iphone accessory is a sign of them tanking the economy…
