Cook says Chinese workers better than Americans.

What a dang liar, he said they were better at manufacturing job because their schools teach them subjects that our schools don’t touch. I can’t believe how much you lie all over the place.

Way to take Cook’s comments out of context.

He said that the reason they have the manufacturing in China is because of the 1 million Chinese workers. When Charlie Rose challenged him about whether or not he was implying that the Chinese are better workers Cook said; “NO”. He said (paraphrasing here) that in the US we’ve set up our entire ed system on going to a 4 year university, that we’ve essentially abandoned vocational schools and that the Chinese are training people for the kind of workers they need and that we are NOT. He is right and he is not the only one saying it.

He was also asked about the $48 billion in earnings overseas that they don’t pay US taxes on and why they don’t bring that money home - Cook’s answer was that HE WANTED TO BRING THE MONEY HOME but our corporate tax rate would cost Apple 40% and that the current corporate tax system was set up for the industrial age and should have been changed a long time ago.

Of the two things listed above they are positions that most conservatives believe and support. Now some on here may not like Apple or it’s products, fine, but don’t let that blind you to the truth of what the man said. I watched the segments about Apple and thought it was interesting - his answers to many of Charlie Rose’s questions surprised me.
