Steve Jobs Ghost Is America's Last Leader?
Written by Lawrence Brown

Forget politicians; arguing about which of these people who couldn't get a real job is
better than a different one who couldn't get a real job is a textbook example of
"rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic." Sure were better off with Obama,but
electing a President of the United States because he wasn't George W. Bush and
re-electing him because he wasn't Mitt Romney is faint praise indeed.
Is anyone in America more admired than Steve Jobs?
If he'd run against Obama's re-election,who do you think would be President now?
Exactly.
Because Steve gave us stuff that is actually real and actually works.
(Unlike our government.)
And what a leader.
Proof? Before he left us you never heard a negative word about Apple products.
Soon after he was gone you discovered the workers who made your iPhone may
have thrown themselves out windows preferring death over their inhuman working
conditions. Then the iPhone 5 comes out with the vastly superior GoogleMaps replaced
by an awful Apple Map.(Steve was very angry with Google but he would never have
hurt his customers till he had something better to offer.)
That's leadership.
(Historic note: the last time coolest product on Earth(like iPhone) became the biggest
company in the world(like Apple) was on 1903 when Henry Ford gave the world a $350
car.)
More horrors:
KODAK owned the photography business for 100 years,but they thought this
"digital photo" stuff was a passing fad. They are now in bankruptcy.
XEROX's name was part of the language--"xerox this"--but they thought they would
forever own the business of making copying machines because they idea of their loyal
customers of 15 years ago getting their own computer with it's own printer was
"science fiction".
The loss of great brand names like Kodak and Xerox is a life-threatening matter to
the greatest brand name in the world: AMERICA.
We need 100 new Steve Jobs' and right away.
And no one should be intimidated by this.
Steve Jobs himself said (watch him say this on YOUTUBE under "Steve Jobs/
One last thing")
"Everything around you that you call life,
was created by somebody no smarter than you."
If we had more people acting like Steve Jobs,
an America with 23 million unemployed,we also have
more Jobs.
Let's act like America again.

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

an America with 23 million unemployed,we also have
more Jobs." And where are all these wonderful products made?
The problem, truly dirty little secret and wonder, is they are already inspired. To think otherwise and that they are less is an injustice. What they need now is actual help. They need a more progressive change in paradigm that says that brilliance need not be coupled to commercialism. Only then can people use their brilliance to help others, like for instance to develop truly groundbreaking ways to put the world to work in safe and equitable ways for living wages –rather than ways profitable for some and simply debilitatingly busy ways for most.
He would likely say that more of him would be a mistake. He was profit driven innovation. Without profits, he could never have continued to innovate as he did. However, had profit not hobbled his paths, the innovations would have soared far higher. His best ideas for our world never got traction.
Focus on your neighbor, toiling in obscurity. There is the brilliance of America. Steve, above all others would appreciate helping him out of your way.
