I wasn’t thinking that, though you are right of course.Yep. The biggest thing that is now broken is trust.
You are the richest country in the world with the highest earnings per person.Thanks to bad trade agreements by administrations of both parties, we make almost nothing in this country. It is sad and terrible because those were good-paying jobs.
Anything we can bring back ought to be done.
Quantity not quality of engineers in China is what matters."Apple had 700,000 factory workers employed in China, [Jobs] said, and that was because it needed 30,000 engineers on-site to support those workers. ‘You can’t find that many in America to hire,’ he said."

Quality is what is essential If you can get quality workers, which isn't guaranteed with a special visa all the time.
Librem 5 isn’t listed as made in the US the liberty phone is listed as made with US electronics and is $2kThe USA-made Librem 5 costs $1,600. If Apple wanted to, they could easily sell a Pro Max at that price or even lower, thanks to the massive scale of their production.
Not really, but people believe what they want.In the end, it's all about $$$$$. Now you see a trend of outsourcing to Poland instead of India. But as soon as they find Poland too expensive, they will "outsource Poland" too.
They don't go for quality.
no! Trump is going to build the best free university online! https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/01/trump-free-online-university-00124905So it's either a new iPhone or your kid's college education.![]()
Do you believe these CEO’s and shareholders will become less focused on their own profit by shifting production to the US?It's about slave labor, it's not about quality or quantity. It's about how much $$$$ the CEO and shareholders can earn selling cheap Chinese goods that you find on Temu and Alibaba in the USA at ridiculous inflated prices.
Plus, according to the reviews the Liberty phone is not a 1000$ phone with a 100% premium for being built in US. It’s a 100$ (at best) phone with a 1900% premium.Librem 5 isn’t listed as made in the US the liberty phone is listed as made with US electronics and is $2k
Which is why wealth distribution cannot be voluntary. It has to be done through regulation.In the end, it's all about $$$$$. Now you see a trend of outsourcing to Poland and South America instead of India. But as soon as they find Poland too expensive, they will "outsource Poland" to a cheaper country too.
Quality is not the main driver, how much money the CEO and shareholders are making is the priority.
Isn't it better to learn how to do things better and cheaper?Now you see a trend of outsourcing to Poland and South America instead of India.
Supposedly the US share of Apple's revenue is in the neighborhood of 42%.Without the USA market, Apple is in deep ****.
The value of a nation is not determined by the magnitude of salaries in US dollars, but rather by the purchasing power of its citizens in the currency of that country.Average workers from China is 350 USD per month
Nope, too busy applauding China for having a spine and standing up to orange bully boy at the moment.People should be applauding the fact that we’re finally standing up to this
Correct. This is defined as “purchasing power parity” (PPP). US leads China by about 4:1. And that is an average value, not specifically for factory workers. Not quite as bad as just looking at salary, but still quite significant.The value of a nation is not determined by the magnitude of salaries in US dollars, but rather by the purchasing power of its citizens in the currency of that country.
So is the US. But for some reason, if they do it in front of rolling cameras, it isn’t called “corruption”.Let’s be real. China hasn’t played by the rules in decades. They ignore WTO standards, steal intellectual property from companies like Apple and anyone else who manufactures there, and if you try to take legal action, good luck they don’t care. You want something made in China? Be prepared for a knockoff version to hit the market three months later at half the price. China only cares about China. Many legitimate manufacturers have already moved production elsewhere because they’ve had enough of the games. And let’s be honest China is a totalitarian regime ruled by Xi Jinping, who’s been in power for over 13 years and doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere. It’s every bit as corrupt as Russia or North Korea. People should be applauding the fact that we’re finally standing up to this. They’ve been getting away with it for far too long.
