In fact, Apple has invested so much money in the iPhone. The only way they can make it work is if they sell the iPhone only to billionaires. Yes, just like Disney. The cost of Disneyland and Disneyworld mean that the only way it could provide a return is if the only people who can attend are the very wealthy. I think my model of the world is very good. It accurately describes things.

iPhones are very expensive.

If you own an iPhone, you're already wealthier than a large chunk of the planet.

Oh I see. When you meant "very expensive" you meant "easily accessible for the median American" and when that guy said "wealthy people" you interpreted that to be "the median American". It's true that Europeans and so on are quite poor but the company is in the US. Yep, factually most Africans can't go to Disneyland either.

Spot on.

If Disneyland claimed to be helping fix world problems like biodiversity loss and climate change, that would be worth criticizing as well.

Well, fortunately, the US won't be involved in fixing world problems any more now that USAID is out. Our dirty dollars shan't taint the virtuous poor any longer.

I don't know who you are or why you charge 850/hr to book but I like your brand of snark and I hope you post more often
