  • Trump blinks: Floats suggestion that Apple might get a tariff exemption

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    It’s not a “blink.” It has been mentioned a lot here on ai before the tariffs came on. Apple would get an exemption. I’ve personally posted this a few times. 

    Smart people do smart things. It’s why cook preemptively met with the president prior to the election and why the admin is letting some of the fine tuning show now. It’s always shock and awe to rile up the immoveable players. Then settles into the details. It’s why you hear the phrase/torle “art of the deal” being so talked about lately. 

    As I’ve BEEN saying, Apple willl be fine.

    It's only a deal if you consider somebody stabbing you six inches in the chest, and then pulling the blade back three inches a deal where you just had paper cuts before.
    Idk. I never knew about the tariffs applied to us before now. 
     
    I think anyone that has read your commentary hear figured out that you aren't a particularly well informed person.  Good to see you admit it though. 
    And that would be a grossly inaccurate assumption. Let’s be grown ups and keep the insults and personal attacks out of the forum. Actually I think that’s part of the rules.

  • Trump's 104% tariff against imports from China goes live

    It may be tough for a bit, but it’s necessary. We shouldn’t have allowed everyone to-especially China - to tariff us like they have without responding in kind. 

    China has been stealing our IP, making our stuff, and forcing our companies to hand over their sensitive data and control to the ccp. We don’t do that maybe we should do that for every country that pulls that on ur companies. The fact that China has so much control over apples data is unbelievable and reaches beyond China to everyone who communicates with Chinese citizens. 

    With China only getting more aggressive and other countries and the EU following suit, it’s time to nip this before it gets even worse. It’s already been too long. 

    Maybe some of you aren’t willing to hold off on buying some things for a bit. But I can easily wait a bit in order to get a far better situation moving forward. 

    It pretty much depends on us. What will we do. Will we buy anyway at exorbitant prices, or will we curb our habit long enough to make a difference. 

    I’ve been waiting forever to upgrade. Just bought an m4 air to tide me over. I can wait a little longer. 

    Ultimately I think cook knows exactly what this is about and likely supports it in spite of the short term hit. It’s really the only way to get things back to a fair place where it should be.
