That is a temporary problem which Apple routinely solves in the long run by... making enough iPhones for all the people who want one.
I.e. exactly what we should be doing with housing.
- kevin_thibedeau 11mo agoNew housing is subject to cost disease. Now exacerbated because the off the books workers the industry depends on are being kicked out. You can't just materialize houses without the labor to make them.
- School-Cotton 11mo agoI think US immigration policy is pretty shitty, so no argument from me there.
- immibis 11mo agoThen reduce minimum costs. Let 50 people share an empty lot and put up a slum made of wooden planks from the hardware store. They won't allow this because it'd make house prices decrease.
- tclancy 11mo agoThat plus a history of people dying from building things not to code and trying to live in it, plus the externalized costs of having to put out the ensuing fire due to a non-electrician wiring the thing. Other than that, spot on.
- tclancy 11mo agoOh well, when you put it that way … Christ on a rubber crutch.
