While sitting on the steps of Union Square, they poured their raw energy, emotion, and ideas into a manifesto. They didn’t try to write a business plan, but instead expressed what they wanted from life and how to...

Mr. Daisey and the Apple Factory →
Recently, This American Life, brought this story to it’s dedicated listeners. TAL has done many stories I have loved, however this one is exceptionally good. It takes us thru the story of how lots of the tech we use every day, specifically, Apple products, are made and how the people who make the products are treated. It is worth the hour. Give it a listen.
