• Steve Jobs faked full signal strength and swapped devices during the first iPhone demo due to fragile prototypes and bug-riddled software.

• Engineers got drunk during the presentation to calm their nerves.

• Despite the challenges, Jobs successfully completed the 90-minute demonstration without any noticeable issues.

Not sure why you are down voted. Marx argues that the secret to value is human labor, and capitalists exploit labor to capture surplus value.

Progress requires human labor. It doesn't matter what government or ideology you use.

I think some folks, especially of the marxist POV, argue that labor is the work that you sell to make money. Progress and government require work. It's not necessarily labor.
