  • iPhone is extremely overpriced and the workers who produce it aren’t compensated accordingly. I’m not going into why, because it would be extremely time consuming to find and properly document it, but I’m pretty sure we could boil it down to “Apple greed.”

    Secondly, I believe most American consumers would prefer quality, as in “want it,” but the bulk of the companies offering it prefer artificial scarcity. It’s not that these companies couldn’t make a lucrative profit without artificial scarcity. It’s that they aim to “hook” as many people into continuously chasing it to keep wages low, and conformity/obedience high.
