You know, there was a time when people stopped buying cheap shirts made in English factories that employed kids. They were good shirts, too. Is it worth it, though? Is being "better for mobile computing purposes" worth all of this

I understand both sides of this conversation. And can't help but think that politics crossing over to the workplace (where we spend a big chunk of our time) is overall good, since democracy hasn't really taken hold at the office i
