California wants to end Cupertino's tax deal with Apple
So certainly government “the other taxpayers” would be able to limit those not paying to access whether it be roads, health care, fire and police.jdw said:"Stolen" in that it was taken without giving the tax payer a choice not to pay it.”
Now we move on to the next news story.

Customer FineWoven complaints lead to threadbare response from Apple
Seems people just gotta hate on something. I stopped by the Apple Store to try one out. Not impossible to like. Used to use leather cases but the bacterial patina they get from absorbing hand goo makes them a pass for me now. I'm a clear plastic case guy for now. They are cleanable.

Gizmodo author sues Apple over 'Tetris' movie
Apparently a person at Gizmodo doesn't like it when someone steals their prototype and uses it to write a story.
How times have changed.

Lawmakers urged to block TSMC worker visas over Arizona plant construction
Automation has replaced 10 times more jobs than offshoring ever dreamed of replacing. And those offshored jobs? Yeah those were American capitalist's that stripped those factories and rebuilt modern ones overseas.spock1234 said:I am amused by the intensity of the rhetoric on this forum. People are taking things at face value and denouncing the other side. You have no idea how much truth there is in the statements of TSMC or the Unions. Learn to be moderate in your online speech until you have some real world experience.
Anyone who thinks Americans are racist has never worked anywhere else in the world. Just try working in Switzerland for a year - most localities won't even rent an apartment to a non-EU citizen. Or, try being a non-native in any Asian country, and you will learn the true meaning of racism. Hell, the Chinese are not just racist against non-Chinese, they even treat non-Han-Chinese like dirt.
Before criticizing America, understand that no other country in the world has experienced this level of job loss due to off-shoring of manufacturing and importation of illegal low-skill laborers. America has seen the greatest decline in living standards and population of the middle class of any western nation over the last 30 years. Western European countries have very strict labor laws that prevent offshoring of manufacturing jobs and mass hiring of non-citizens. Even so, those countries are hostile to foreign workers, even highly skilled ones. If anything, most Americans are not upset enough about these trends that have cost them them their economic security and quality of life.
Just FYI, I work in a highly regulated, technically complex industry, with direct experience in research, outsourcing/off-shoring, and manufacturing network 'optimization' (aka plant closures).
