Reflogging Apple

Anglachel's Journal: Rotten to the Core

...Black's evaluation of Apple is unyielding: "Apple creates a criminogenic environment in its supplier selection process that leads it to,
pervasively, hire criminal suppliers." The explicit and documented treatment of labor in this supply chain is, on the face of it, criminal.

So, go argue with him about the facts of the case. My interest in Apple is as a signifier of a particular mentality among the cultural elite - let's call them Whole Foods Nation - that wants others (like me) to ratify their consumer purchases (phones, canned beans, presidents) as markers of cultural, moral and intellectual superiority.

Use whatever gadget you want, but don't lie to yourself about the very brutal world of global manufacturing where it was produced.
