Pelosi tells Apple, ‘you didn’t build’ the iPhone. The government did

You didn't build that, someone else did.

There aren’t’ too many devices that you can look at and instantly ‘get’ that they led to near-instantaneous changes in the way the world functions and behaves. Radios and TVs certainly did, as did the affordable automobile. We can toss in the microwave oven, the X-ray camera, and the personal computer as well. Most recently, the honor would have to go to the cell phone and, in particular, the iPhone.

Apple’s baby is widely regarded as the most ubiquitous, and most forward-thinking, of the now borderline-essential cellular handsets. For better or worse, it’s transformed the way we do business, play games, take pictures, and interact with our friends and families.

If the govt built the iPhone it would be the size of a suitcase, and not carry-on size either because some airline lobbyist would insert a line in the authorizing legislation to boost his industry’s revenue.

Bat sh*t crazy

[Zathras]

The Feds attack Apple trying to overturn lawsuit with Samsung.
Now Pelosi attacks the biggest company in the USA located 60 miles from her district.

Something is happening...
I’m wondering if this might have something to do with Intel supporting Trump.

If the government created a cell phone:
1. It would only be available in one color
2. It would not work on any holiday
3. It would have a non-intuitive and very complicated user interface

[Donglalinger]

Actually it was Gene Roddenberry and he invented the Ipad too.

[JennysCool]

4. It would never get built.

[reg45]

5. There would be a cabinet level Department of Mobile Communications with a Secretary of Mobile Communications, Assistant Secretary of Mobile Communications, etc, etc, etc

6. It would use the cheapest components, purchased at inflated prices from whoever donated the most to the President's election campaign

If the feds had built the iPhone, encryption problems wouldn’t be an issue.

[CodeToad]

7. It would take a staff of logistics personnel to keep it running.

In the context of the iPhone,final cause, efficient cause, and formal cause are all conditions of Apple

Pelosi tells Apple, ‘you didn’t build’ the iPhone. The government did. Liberalism is a mental disorder! — PING!

Apple doesn't build iPhones,
the government does!— Nancy Pelosi
Senator of the Great State of Delusion

Then why did the government have such a difficult time with the encryption?

[AFreeBird]

“We have to pass this bill to find out what’s in it”

Nuff said.

[beethovenfan]

Pelosi has got to be one of the most stupid women to ever walk the earth.

[VerySadAmerican]

She says that about a California company. She’s got her millions so she doesn’t care what anyone thinks.

[YogicCowboy]

If the government built it, it would be like the CCCP-1 “Mini-Cam” shown on SCTV.

[justa-hairyape]

Government builds nothing. It is composed of a worthless group of paper pushers and some service staff with mixed capabilities. Private business builds everything.

[Flick Lives]

Government built mobile phone. Batteries extra.

Robert Laurie (the author of the article which you brought here) notes;

"... The mind that thinks this way is truly scary. Basically, they’re arguing that anything that’s ever been built, sold, and bought - if it references or integrates even the tiniest sliver of federal-funded research - is a product of the all-powerful state. ..."

I agree.

What I'm having trouble coming to grips with is;

How can anyone in their right mind keep voting for Democrat party candidates? Isn't Pelosi one of their top 'minds'? Politically speaking...
