let it happen again. Believe me, even if Apple hates the workers and secretly
wants them to die a horrible death for their stock holders, they don't want
this bad press and would have avoided it if they could have.

2.) Outsourcing has real costs. It's not just cheaper because labor is
cheaper. When you outsource you have to worry about the government, the
infrastructure, shipping, recruiting talent etc. If you paid the Chinese
workers American wages, it would not be worth the other costs to outsource at
all.

3.) You can't compare living and working conditions between countries. As bad
as a 3rd world outsourced job is to us 1st worlder's it's still generally
BETTER than what they would have otherwise. In fact Apple and other
'outsourcers' are the one and only reason for the breath-taking trend line
that is China's per capita growth:
<http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=china+income+per+capita>

Just read about living in China in the 60s. It's horrifying to even think
about and makes China today seem like paradise. In short the Chinese are
better with Apple than without.

4.) There are not a fixed number of jobs in the world - there are only a fixed
number of resources. If China can make us a product cheaper than we can make
it WE benefit. Our resources are free to build other things for China when
they want to cash in some of those US Dollars they so graciously accepted from
Apple in exchange for real goods. Voluntary trade benefits both parties by its
very nature or it doesn't happen.

Also, the US unemployment issue is bit off the main topic of an already
lengthy comment, but it has much more to do with sticky wages and our past
decisions than it does outsourcing.

5.) Finally you can't not outsource. It's impossible. In this age of
globalization everything is from everywhere. You can't even build a toaster by
yourself:
