They care about America half as much as they care about the Chinese gulags that make their products.

Bingo! Charirty starts at home.

But then, they might be acused of slave labor so better to keep the slave labor off shore and out of sight.

Well see that’s the problem. They want to be “charitable” rather than actually help the black community (and the whole of America for that matter) prosper!

Well, Amazon tried to create urban jobs and AOC and her ilk chased those jobs away. Why would Nike or Apple try, after that?

If we did away with the tax deduction for shrinkage losses I think Apple and Nike might change their tunes...

The best thing to help all American wage earners would be a 20-30% ACROSS THE BOARD IMPORT TARIFF.

It would also help balance the fed. budget if anyone cares about that anymore.
