You miss the point.
They CAN’T manufacture here, because our federal polypragmonocracy makes such high-end manufacturing infeasible.
Sure, it behooves companies to do the work here - IF it wasn’t somewhere between illegal and cost-prohibitive due to regulations.
Of course they can manufacture here.
That’s profoundly silly to claim. Stroke of the pen, and Apple could bring back all manufacturing to America.
Would win them millions of customers hearts and loyalty. And it’s not like their product pricing will not support US manufacturing costs - Apples are pretty expensive actually.
They decided not to manufacture here - and some day they will reap the whirlwind.
Perhaps soon. The current trends are quite literally unsustainable. Even short term.
Apple could lead the way in re-industrializing America, and be truly loved heroes doing so.
They should.
