This is two years old, but we both know that very little has changed.

If Apple was a bit more patriotic, they'd move those jobs to another country, or better yet, back home.
And if our consumers were a bit more patriotic, they'd have little problem paying a bit more for their iPhone. |

Yes, of course. But Tim Cook is a businessman/CEO of a publicly traded company, who answers to his shareholders. His shareholders are interested in making money. Apple wouldn't exist without the ability to employ 1,000,000 people in China and manufacture iPhones cheaply. Then here in the good old USA, millions of software developers develop apps for the iPhone, creating an ecosystem that employs millions ... Its a win-win. You force Apple back into the US, and its finished... This is not exclusive to Apple... |

Have they taken down the suicide nets at Foxcon yet?
Meanwhile, Apple is free to move their manufacturing to Vietnam, Mexico, or the U.S.

You've complained on this forum about the way C. Thomas was treated and now Anita Hill. Come on man...which way is is? It seems you just repeat the talking point of the day. At one point, you were so impressed with Thomas you even claimed he was the first black justice. Now, you are defending someone who accused him of sexual harassment?
It's all partisan with you. |
