    Maybe Cook can help India expand its local technology industry?
    Maybe he can help the U.S. in this.
    It will be hard but possible if the business environment such as taxes are made friendlier , but certainly not with current tax you to death  people in charge . 

    Not a political statement but just stating a fact 
    Har!! Taxes have gone down a great deal. Under both Dem and GOP administrations. And tax loopholes ensures most large corps pay a pitiful amount of, if any, taxes.

    China will not only bite the hand that feeds it. It will devour the food giver entirely if the feeder is not smart. Apple should continue to diversify its supply chain/manufacturing partners. It just has to be smart, highly involved in every aspect and never lose sight of its values. Profit isn't everything.
    Who are you kidding? "never lose sight of its values”, " Profit isn't everything.”

    For publicly traded companies profit IS everything. Values and ethics be damned. I remember when actor Charlton Heston (Moses for God’s sake) got up in front of a Time Warner shareholder meeting and read the disgustingly filthy, misogynistic, racist, bigoted lyrics  by rap artists the company’s record division sold. Shareholders were disgusted and angry that Heston assaulted their precious ears with filth. But did they demand that those recordings be taken off the market? Not on your life. Why? Because MONEY.
    "For publicly traded companies profit IS everything."

    That wasn't always the case and as current thinking goes, it isn't the only philosophy amongst companies. Indeed when Friedman spouted his nonsense in 1970, it was met with derision and has been challenged for more than a generation. Consumers will make demands on and even walk away from shitty companies that focus solely on profit. Don't forget Apple was once at the precipice with that BS profit maxim as the operation principle.

  • Foxconn India workers beset by worms in food, no running water

    Foxconn doesn't give a shit about workers. If they did they would never contract with local firms that would even allow this BS to continue. They only care about profit. If they could involve slave labor, they would. Apple needs to find a better partner. This will continue to be a problem with Foxconn in the picture.
