Trump expects Apple to build manufacturing plant in Texas
Bob Boberts said:Looks like all that ass kissing Tim has been doing with Trump for the last 3 years has been for nothing.
On another note, any “jobs” being brought back to the United States are going to be robots. Chinese factories including Foxconn for years been having trouble getting Chinese citizens to fill in these soul-killing factory jobs. Guess what, Chinese people are just like us and want a good life too. Foxconn is filled with robots and that’s where’s it really going, so much of what’s been discussed in this thread is just useless.
Oh, and most of these robots are being built in Japan.
Unless it’s a union, factory or production or service jobs suck. Here in Silicon Valley, American-born citizens and their kids refuse to work in car washes, fast food places, 7-Elevens, etc., it’s mostly Indian and South American born. Not a whole a lot of American born washing dishes or picking fruit either as it’s beneath them. And all those jobs are going to disappear too - EVERYWHERE in the world. You’re all talking about the WRONG issues.
Texas, my ass.

Jony Ive's departure follows years of dissatisfaction and absenteeism
marsorry said:Shame, I actually think he's just a guy missing his old friend Steve and was acting out when he didn't get the super-star attention he was used to getting. Leadership is such a critical aspect of work that when you feel undervalued, it shows in unintended ways. The other problem is that he was a top-level leader and he affected everyone working below him, so that's uncalled for. I think it's probably best for him to step aside and let the company take on a different course. Nobody is indispensable, it's time the other designers stepped up and filled those shoes.
And if he was indeed spending a great deal of time designing Apple Park as the articles states many times, then obviously he didn't have time for his former duties. He is human.
And I would like to know about these sources who say they hardly saw him but claim to know how he was feeling. Nice way to treat a man who made the design team the stars of Apple. -
