  • Apple wants nearly every iPhone 18 sold in the US to come from India

    If Apple can do it, great. Just remember the lessons learned from feeding China for decades. 

    For India, this is huge. Even if many Indian workers don’t want manufacturing jobs, it may be a great blessing for the Dalits, who’ve been treated very poorly due to the remnants of unfortunate caste system in the past. 
    You have been consistently saying that Dear Leader is going to use tariffs to move manufacturing to the U.S. and create jobs here.  Now that the results of the tariffs are the jobs moving to India you are cheering on that as if were the plan all along long? Is the cult now all about MIGA? What happen to the art of the deal and the millions of Americans going to work to put little screws into iPhones? Was this all just nonsense? (it was) The mental gymnastics are just incredible and the cult abides.
    Incorrect. I’ve been “constantly” saying they are to create fair trade. And “occasionally” reminding others that another factor is “encouraging”a return to American manufacturing..

    ‘straw man eliminated.

  • US will not tolerate EU fine against Apple, says White House

    The eu better shape up. This admin does not play. 

    Apple has been harmed horribly by these extortionate tactics and it must be reversed. 

    Trying to lower the fine amount to fly under the radar would never work as predicted. 

    No more abusive treatment toward Apple or any American/American company. Enough is enough. The entire dma must be deleted. It was wrong at the stsrt and it’s wrong now. 

    Every time time the eu steals money from an American tech company, their tarriffs should go up and sanctions implemented. 
    This administration doesn't play? You mean like announcing tarriffs and then immediately pausing them? I you are as pro-tarrff as you say it seems like say then you would actually be critically of Trump as all he has done is ramble incoherently about them. His actual actions have amounted to squat. Pick a lane, are you pro-tariff or pro-trump? 

    Pivot and play are two different things. 

    Pivot

    Play

    An agile administration can pivot and turn on a dime. A foolish one bulls ahead without thought. But even that is missing the idea that there are some nuances planned ahead of time.

    Also, not "pro-tarriff" per se. Rather pro-doing the right thing. Tariffs are difficult. But it's the only way to level the playing field. No one likes a fight. But you do it when you have to. And when you do, you do it to win. Even better when you've prepared to do so.

  • How Apple's use of eucalyptus in Apple 2030 is controversial

    Yeah, that's rough. If an area is deforested, the real solution would need to be replacing like for like. Not introducing a completely different type of flora. 
    It's great that Eucalyptus can be replenished faster. In that case, develop new land for this purpose and use existing Eucalyptus populations.

    Eliminating certain flora and never see that species returned in that area is not a solution.

  • Senator Warren asks if Apple CEO Tim Cook's Trump playbook is blatant corruption

    Tim Cook should ask Senator Warren if she's getting some pay checks from the EU or China?  
    Or Soros.
