    that is 偷換概念 in philosophy. even if we don't buy ipad, they can work on other electronic devices. and for janitor, my statement is "if we dont leave garbage, will they loss their job?" the answer is obviously no cuz they have to do other cleaning job (not the things that we leave there) too. i think u should take a intro philosophy class in a post secondary institution

    that's why your knowledge of economics is limited to econ 101. It is true that the demand of ipad may decrease if people boycott the product. But then what is the reason for that? It is because the manufacturer! if your theory is correct, there should never be organic products or ethic beans at the commercial skytrain station.
Your theory is saying that "people in a lower class have to be sacrifice in order to the keep up the demand and sales for the market". but then buyers are not only care about the price, ECON 101 DID NOT TEACH YOU the other factors that may affect the market, transaction cost, demand and supply.

if you are right, then all the countries in Northern Europe should collapse cuz they are everyone there are nearly equal. every country should follow what China does and earn more $. That's nonsense, then why there are more people wanna leave china at all cost?

the ipad and the company's goodwill will decrease and suffer from loss in long-term. but if the manufacturer set up a better policy and welfare for the workers, then the company will gain a goodwill back and earn more in the future. also, ipad is not the only product in the market. there will be other same kind of product coming and replace it. in order words, more workers will be needed. the same logic, if you can't go to LYK, does it mean you have nowhere to go? If the answer is positive,  congratulations.
