I try to avoid these huge companies and use independent options like Mozilla for browsing, DDG for search, MapQuest, Protonmail, Roku for streaming, OpenOffice, Linux, Evernote, small local banks, etc.

All on the backs of his H1B slave labor while crushing the American middle class.

It is not just Apple that is losing key skills. Almost all Engineering and Tech companies who contract out work are doing the same.

Outsourcing to cheaper locations might be good for the beancounters (note... their jobs hardly ever go overseas) but the skills drain is immense.

It happened to me twice. The last time I refused to train my Indian replacements. They had two people just to do my job.

The experiences of the first episode made me think long and hard about training people who really didn't care about the job and who were unable to ask relevant or hard questions for fear of losing face with their boss.

I have warned my grandchildren away from going into the IT business as there is no future for it in the west.

What about software engineering?

Same thing. All being replaced by Indians abroad or here on H1-B visas.

Manufacturing SE in China,India,Brazil doesn't matter; does it ?

Uh, yeah it does.  China is the largest and most powerful communist country in the world and the biggest threat to the United States by far.  I think it's pretty clear that China is the present day evil empire.  Why would you want any manufacturing by American companies done there at all?  IMHO, we should pull of of China completely.  Would you have wanted American companies to manufacture stuff in the Soviet Union during the cold war?  I don't think so.

Let me get this straight. The US Senate is using a video conferencing app. which doesn't use end to end encryption and data may travel through China. Epic fail!!!
