The thing I miss is an Intel that designed and manufactured the best chips in the world. After Andy Grove, Intel switched mottos from “only the paranoid survive” to “only the complacent maximize next quarter’s profit and the CEO bonus.” Those CEOs achieved their goal — they got rich by cashing in on previous generations’ investments without making investments of their own. 

well said. They decided they could focus on doing the same thing instead of moving forward. The future is not the past. This country needs to understand that as well.

I thought he was saving America and we needed tariffs to build more. It's almost like the organ one has no idea what he's doing beyond greed and corruption.

Either Apple snuck him a big chunk of untraceable cash or suddenly America doesn't need iPhone factories. Interesting...

I don't know. I see what people pay for cars and I can't believe it. Or what some people spend on a TV. There's cheaper options but those companies and products seem to do fine. Apple seems to put a couple hundred atop their products and get away with it. And quality wise, Apple has always had the most reliable hardware with the strictest sourcing. So I'm not sure a high price is a big worry. If it's too expensive you can buy a cheaper model. You don't even need to change brands from BMW to Honda.

Thanks Biden-Harris 

Exactly. Agreed to a year ago before the 'destroy the economy quickly' folks were elected.
