This article says it all in one sentence.
“The worst part of American workers essentially being stupider, slower and lazier than our counterparts in foreign countries is that the entire supply chain for most finished products is now on the other side of the world.”
It’s not just Apple, most tech companies do the same. Are we to slap tariffs on all of them? We have to change our government, schools, and tax practices before these companies build here.
File for a patent on it! Just kidding, others probably have. What with all the work on flexible screen technology, this will be in stores in a few years. Remember "Red Planet" with Val Kilmer?

Of course Microsoft gives no money to Democrats. /s
