Thanks.

I sure wish we were making these things here.

But thanks for the post. I do not particularly trust Bloomberg.

But we really, really, really need to bring back production of these sorts of things, back to America once again.

Just saying...

Like Ford, GM and Chrysler building cars in America again? Its not just smart phones that aren't being made here, its products in all categories. Its just that it's convenient for anti-Apple liberals on FR to go after Apple.

For what it's worth, Samsung is building chips for the new iPhone, in Austin Texas. They started building chips for Apple there back in 2011, and started up production this year for chips going into the new iPhone. Foxconn, an Apple supplier, is building a $10B plant in Wisconsin. Apple is already building computers here in the USA, has been for years, with many components made in the USA. News that is real but ignored.

Here’s what’s going on with Ford, who has decided not to make cars here anymore (other than the Mustang for a while). They’re shifting production away from Mexico to China. Yes, Ford wants more of their products made in China. So how come no one on FR is complaining about that? We wish things were made here, but our companies are still going over to China.
