I like the idea of things made in the US; however, there needs to be a roadmap, not what this buffoon is doing. Also retaining a positive relationship with the rest of the world and not being a bully, is key to a successful future.

This is lunacy.

And people used to complain about Biden being senile...

These are the presidential choices we're getting nowadays, senile vs lunatic. Take your pick!

Sorry...the supposedly "senile" Biden dropped out and voters could have chosen Kamala Harris. Instead, they picked the guy that gave them senility and insanity in the same package.

Many couldn't find a great candidate to vote for and decided not to vote at all. I know it was the case in our jurisdiction at least.

Those tariffs are actually worse than what they seem. Ford for example, had provided insights on this. Some of their components cross borders several times before they can make it in a vehicle, and each time they cross a border (either direction) they get taxed. Countries are returning the favor and taxing the US too, so when a component exits the US to get worked on, it gets taxed and when returned to the US it gets taxed again. This can happen up to four times, like an automatic transmission. This was never the case before because there was an agreement between those countries to not tax each other when working on components.

What proportion of Apple's revenue comes from Final Cut Pro? I suspect they could gain a complete monopoly of the market and it wouldn't make a material difference to Apple Inc.

I mean, sure make the best software you can, but if some people choose to use an alternative--even working on an Apple-funded project--it's not a big deal. Now if they were using Windows PCs and Android phones...

Apple could learn a thing or two on when to iterate and when to disrupt. They became the risky option for professionals. Remember when they bought Shake then killed it?
