An ipad made in the US would probably cost $3000 dollars...at least. I remember seeing the US-made equivalent of the iphone last year. The cost of labor would have made the device unaffordable for all but the wealthy. Instead, virtually anyone can purchase. These union-loving socialists are a primary driver in shifting manufacturing and other jobs out of the US. The ever increasing costs of labor, regulations, and political graft is a major driver in costs.
Jackson also doesn’t appear to realize that a lot of publishers are outsourcing their printing to China, too.
