Yes all iPods should be made in America by happy and fat unionized workers. Sadly each unit would cost about $2k and increase every year.

And the point of the article is what? Should we not have iPods or any other modern technology device that has to be made overseas to be priced competitively?
Farah has absolutely no clue. I've been to similar factories in China and the workers (mostly female) are thrilled to have these jobs so they can earn more than they otherwise could in their villages. They save the money and then go back to buy land of their own and get married.

Oh wait, Go Pat Go.......

THANK you. in the area of competitive compassion, i have just about had it with boycotting stuff because the workers don't have the same standard of living we do.
