Apple Spin? Global Corporate spin is the problem

Apple Spin? Global Corporate spin is the problem

 

 

We've been having a considerable number of posts damning Apple for allowing the exploitation of Chinese workers in order to produce inexpensive prodicts. 

 

At first I said, "Carl, keep out of this.  You have nothing new to offer".  But then I said, "So, when did that ever stop me?" 

 

Some folks sound somewhat protective of Apple, so I'll try to be gentle.  Apple is playing by the same rules that all Global Corporations are playing by...Their Rules! 

How many times do I have to tell folks, ***We can't level their playing field***!!! 

Listen up!  This has never been the Working/Middle Class playing field. 

You can point to all sorts of examples to demonstrate that I'm out in left field, but the fact of the matter is that every one of your examples are temporary concessions at best, and at worst they actually do damage to us, while enriching the Ruling Class. 

I've said it before, we are being swept along in the Great American Revolution.  It began long before 1776, but that's the date we point to as our Proud     Independence Day.  Independence for whom?  The Black field hands laboring for Massa?  The house niggers?  The Redskin Savages?  All Women?  Chinese Laborers?  Latinos...especially Mexicans?  Miners?  Loggers?  White dock workers and general laborers?  Teachers? 

Forget your grade school history for just a minute and ask, "Who benefited from the American Revolution"? 

If you believe that it is you then I have some really good swamps in Florida to sell you. 

The turmoil and economic ups and downs effect us because they are not supposed to make our life better.  They happen as a result of the Ruling Class struggling among themselves for a bigger slice of the Plumb Pudding. 

My dear friends, do we read about 8.3% unemployment among the members of the Ruling Class?  Are we seeing their children's bodies being hauled back from the battle fields?  Are their veterans suffering untreated mental issues from too many employments to the front lines? 

Does five dollar a gallon gas or ten dollar a pound hamburger upset them?  Are they losing their homes?  Does the city put garbage recycling Centers next to their schools?  Are their schools rat and roach infested? 

Are their children coming out of college with debts that will take half their working lives to pay off? 

What the Hell is wrong with our heads? 

I'll say it one more time. 

Folks!  It's not our playing field.  It was not our revolution! 

Once we understand that we have been used and abused, maybe then we will get our heads together and take up our banners and lead our Working Class Revolution.
