Good. Apple uses slave labor.

I mean the South was and all you guys do is tout how great the Confederacy was. Uh, my party beat the confederates, the Nazis, and the commies. Not sure what you're smoking.

Demand for Apple products is so inelastic that they could price their XS Max over $2000 and they'd still sell like hotcakes. No it wouldn't. Yes, it would.
