Tim Cook to Ralph Nader: “Didn’t you used to be somebody famous?”
He’s still alive? Seriously?
Also, wages in China are rising quickly, so much so that Foxconn, the actual manufacturer of iPhones, is trying to replace as many workers with robots as it can. Chinese companies are outsourcing manufacturing jobs to lower cost countries, and even US firms are re-sourcing their manufacturing jobs back here.
I remember, after Nader claimed to be poor, it was revealed that he owned cars and homes in his sister’s name. He has always been a phoney with a boner against people who actually worked for the money that that have; something he has never done. Non-profits? Forgive me for what I want to say.
Ralph Nader needs to speak to my boss.
He’ll listen, I’m sure of it.
Apple doesn’t have any Chinese factories, hence these are not “Apple’s Chinese factory workers.”

Technically probably correct.
But Apple sources quite a lot (a lot) of work there.
Bigtime.
Great idea, Ralph. Say, just out of curiosity, how many people have you employed over the decades (centuries?) you've blessed this earth with your business acumen?
Liberals are always so generous with other peoples money.
Me to Tim Cook: Move factories out of China and build in US.
What would happen - in China - if Apple forced Foxcom to follow Nader’s suggestion?
Apple would be offering wages far out of alignment with the local economy; these highly paid employees would have surplus cash to save or spend, this glut of money will cause prices to rise locally, injuring the thousands who aren’t on the Apple/Foxcom gravy train, it will suppress interest rates, discouraging savings, and will incur the wrath of government regulators who are interested in maintaining labor stability.
Like most ignoramuses, Nader ignores everything beyond the tip of his nose.
All I am saying, is America needs to start to be for America once again.
It is not good for America’s future, to continue to send America’s businesses to China.
China is a massive communist country.
Our investment in China is unwise, if it continues as it currently is.
That is what I am saying.
America needs to bring back businesses, right here to America.
Apple and others. I am not picking on Apple.
Our industrial base is now in a massive communist country.
That is to me, unwise.
I always thought he looked a bit zombie-ish anyway. . .
Apple MacPro.

Ah! The Roger Moore of the Green Peoples’ Party Industry :0)
He sent American companies a letter saying pay their workers the same hourly wage they were making in 2007, and cut their hours to 29 per week.
That’s a different matter entirely.
