If it wasn't for this damn depression we would have sold all our
inventory of iPhone 3G on July 11,2008 then we could have closed for
the rest of the month and gone fishing.
While some people continue to debate whether or not we’re actually in
a recession, Apple (AAPL) went a step further in the 10Q it filed
yesterday, using stark new language to describe the state of the
economy in its risk factors section:
The Company’s operations and performance depend significantly on
worldwide economic conditions and their impact on levels of consumer
spending, which have recently deteriorated significantly in many
countries and regions, including without limitation the United States,
and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. For example, some
of the factors that could influence the levels of consumer spending
include continuing increases in fuel and other energy costs,
conditions in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, labor
and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer confidence and other
macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending behavior. These and
other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand
for the Company’s products and services and on the Company’s financial
condition and operating results.”

Yeah, I'm so depressed about it that I'm going to throw myself on the
Alter of Unbridled Consumerism and spend the rest of my putrid miserable
life looking for 'made in China' labels.

in order to, for example, put food on the table."

it's a matter of priorities. Last Christmas I decided on a Garmin Nuvi
360, instead of an iPhone.
Someone else may decide on an iPhone or two instead of a 3rd HDTV for
the house.
