You're claiming that Apple's reported ~$290b of costs, 77% of which is cost of revenue, in quarterly earnings reports, is illegitimate and fake. That means a conspiracy is happening. I'm not being psychologically manipulated into thinking that's what it costs to operate Apple. They are publishing that number in financial statements given to investors. Somebody, according to you, is cooking the books to come up with that number.
You're not usually this retarded, are you hungover from Easter Sunday?
The manipulation was in relation to webberhelper saying that people buy Apple, as an example, because people want it. I responded by saying people aren't buying/consuming Apple products because they all want to, but because they're manipulated into thinking they need to buy it. It's not just Apple either.

This is why I want Trump to tariff the fuck out of chink electronics. I want the chinks to flog their American electronics for cheap, direct to customer, bypassing Apple. I want those big companies that push consoomerism and anti-consumer products, like forcing a software download onto an Iphone to make the battery life worse - all to push you into buying a new phone. Then, when caught, just pushing software updates to slow down old phones for no reason. It's not just planned obsolescence, which is bad, this is forced obsolescence.
 
The problem is, the market isn't speaking. They're been psychologically manipulated, which is a fact, not a conspiracy,



The $30 was a guess/example/comparison. I didn't expect people to trip over their own autism and get caught up on that number vs the idea.
Manipulated??? Nigga nobody forces you to by a IPhone or a Mac. People buy it because they like the products. Apple has raised the price accordingly because they can.

You're right, nobody forces me to buy an Iphone, which is why I've never owned an Apple product, I'm not a moron. If you believe that your average pleb isn't forced through social coercion , then you're genuinely retarded, braindead, niggercattle.

Most people own Android retard. Again, nobody is forcing you to buy apple. You sound like a commie wanting to redistribute the wealth. Apple earned what it has. It turns out their fans are willing to pay $1500 for a fucking phone. You can call them niggercattle. Apple is still richer than Finland. A true American success story.

You're simply a low-iq mong. You're one of the chimps who typed shakespeare who has retired and spends their days on the internet. You lack the ability to think critically and read what these companies actually admit to.

Android is every device, Iphone is one, sold by one company. Seriously, you're a fucking moron.

Oh no, Apple is a corporation. So? People still buy their products despite their buisness practices because they like them. Also lol no, they run IOS, which has only the barest resemblance to Linux. Android is its own thing. Im sorry you don't like a American company being successful and bringing its jobs back to America. Just dont buy a Iphone man. And thats where im ending this.

jannies, a picture says a thousand word, so this isn't a one word reply
 
Hope the next one tends Jesus's rock better.
IIRC, they pulled an Obama and retooled the cardinal system to ensure the Popes will be their guy from here on out. So don't hope for anything other than another globalist marxist stooge telling all the Catholics they have to let their replacement in and if you refuse to honor your Muslim overlords, you're committing the new extra-cardinal sins of racism, xenophobia, and loving your family over your neighbor.
 
Can't believe JD Vance killed the Pope smh
You laugh but they will ABSOLUTELY try and claim that. "JD Vance forced a dying pope into a photo op, it weakened him enough that he didn't survive."

There's a shitload of brainrot twitter users bemoaning that he was "So christlike" (Read: he agreed with them politically and demanded politicians let in more muslims).

Same users who would recoil like they were burned if you offered them a bible or heard the Church's teachings on men taking dicks up their ass or women slutting about or murdering their children because they're inconvenient to the slutty whore lifestyle.

I just got one when I was pissed off at google. Antipathy it what drives this consumer sentiment right here.

I don’t love it, I don’t base my identity around branded consumerism. I just needed a phone and was mad at google. It’s easy to be mad at google when the main differences are that google doesn’t manufacture the hardware but they do own YouTube, which is constantly trying to fuck with you.

Like this weekend, it kept stuffing my recommended feed with pro CCP videos from fucking Africa Africans. I ain’t clicking that shit

I would probably feel better about having a phone assembled in Korea than in China, but I’m also still rocking a ten year old phone with a battery that needs charging every three hours, so I’m definitely trying to be as non participatory as possible
