“My real problem with Apple is that they DELIBERTLY chose to make obscene profits (and enrich the Chi-coms) by having products made in the China. “
It sounds as if you believe the electronic components for PC products are made in hollow trees here in the US?
It sounds as if you have something against maximizing profits?
It sounds as if your preferred world is a commodity world?
I don’t defend any of it because I am not a cult member. Computers and phones are just tools to me; not how I identify my self worth or position in life.
If you went to 100 Apple cult members with a petition to allow 16 yo’s to work in factory jobs in the US most would be against it. That is what I object too.
I have no problem with maxing out profit. I try to do it everyday - within the law and common decency. I do have a BIG problem DELIBERTLY choosing to enrich the Chi-coms over putting production facilities in the US. Apple cultists will point to the US Mac factory as “see Apple mfgs in the US.” My question is if they can do it once why not all the time? Answer: Because Apple chose to not do it.
