The manufacture of Apple products in the US would triple or quadruple the price of what they cost now.

Here comes the big Free Trade lie and scare tactic. What kind of BS is that? How much do you think labor is as a cost per unit? You call yourself an economic expert? You are an idiot and a fake. Do some research little man and come back with real numbers.

It’s not just the labor unit cost…it’s the regulations, and the taxes, and the culture of the worker, and so much more. And it’s evemn more than that….the regulations in the US would prevent Apple from making some of the last second changes they can make in their assemblies. They would lose much of their flexibility. It would just be a totally different company, and a smaller company, but less nimble even as they were smaller.

They couldn’t be the same company, period.

But again, these jobs never existed in the US…..to assume that somehow they were ever US jobs is just ignorance on your part. It’s ignorant to assume necessarily that any offshore job is a net loss job to the US, though that is the case at times.

You continue to have no ability to look beneath the surface obvious…..you see a job in China and you assume it’s a US job. NO, not necessarily. And again, you fail to understand the tangental jobs created, and despite my asking about ten times, you have yet to utter a syllable about those. If there is one type of job that will always be in this country, it’s our port jobs…….have you ever thought about that? (NO, you haven’t).
