Damn You Tim Cook and That Blasted iPhone 5C

For the past two weeks I’ve been trying to find four iPhone 5S phones. I’ve been to the mall a couple of times and a few mobile phone kiosks and no one has them in stock. What do they have in stock?  There is plenty of iPhone 5C garbage everywhere.  One T-Mobile guy was trying to convince me to buy the iPhone 5C giving it feigned accolades and other nonsense but it was pretty clear that he didn’t want that bloated inventory of garbage phones.
What’s the bottom line?  Tim Cook made a huge error in making the 5C. I think the mistake was threefold actually, the first mistake was making the 5c a technically inferior product than the 5S.  The kids actually like the color models but not the inferior specs (yes, they’re that savvy).  The second mistake was in not producing enough of the 5S since it is in such higher demand than the 5C.   The third mistake was imagining you were a good CEO because with this fiasco you’ve proven yourself too incapable to head Apple.
So here I am with $3,000 in my wallet and no iPhone 5S to buy.  What’s that, I can order it online and wait 2 to 4 weeks to get it?   Uh yeah, why not just produce enough of the damn things from the get go and get them to the proper distribution channels in a timely manner?  Isn’t that what being a CEO is all about?
