Apple (AAPL) announced Monday that it will spend and invest more
than $500 billion in the US over the next four years, including
plans to build a new manufacturing factory, double its advanced
manufacturing fund, and hire 20,000 people.
 "We are bullish on the future of American innovation, and we're
proud to build on our long-standing U.S. investments with this $500
billion commitment to our country’s future,” Apple CEO Tim Cook
said in a statement.
 "From doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund, to building advanced
technology in Texas, we’re thrilled to expand our support for
American manufacturing. And we’ll keep working with people and
companies across this country to help write an extraordinary new
chapter in the history of American innovation.”
 Apple's announcement comes just days after President Donald Trump
said Cook promised him hundreds of millions of dollars in US
investment, and that the tech giant’s manufacturing would shift
from Mexico to the US.
 "They don't want to be in the tariffs," Trump said Friday.

 Now that I know you're a Trump fanboi, I'm going to treat you as you
deserve.
 'Monday's announcement included plans for Apple and its partners to
start producing servers in Houston later this year. A
250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Texas is
scheduled to open in 2026.'
 Hint:
 A project like that scheduled to open next year wasn't started during
this administration.

 Hey 51, the news article is about Apple and their commitment to
bringing manufacturing back to the US.  That's a big deal no matter
what compelled them to make that decicion.

Certainly a "big deal" ... Apple's prices will rise because American workers simply won't accept being paid $2.50 per hour like the Chinese and Indian workers do.  :-\
