Scott Thomas “I stopped listening after the author called Apple “luxury”. That is BS. In my opinion, Apple is egalitarian.”

Scott, I’m at a loss for your use of ‘egalitarian’ in this case. There are several criteria which may commonly be referenced when using the term: social, political and economic equality. Which is your point of reference? Because you quoted the word ‘luxury’, (which generally means something ‘high-end’ -and by association, ‘high-cost’), you must not be referring to economic equality, since in that sense Apple products certainly tilt heavily towards that side of the scale of being a luxury for many (not being judgemental about whether they’re worth the cost, only the socioeconomic reality that their cost would automatically exclude some members of society and make them non-egalitarian; so please clarify what the intention of your statement was.
