I think it was the Apple CEO, after being criticised for having Apple

thousands of tool and die makers but now has only a hundred or so.

We don't have the need for them. Can you imagine the cost of a phone if
it was made in USA with our labor rates? Sales would nosedive and Tim
Cook would be working a part time job.

One of our biggest customers in the early 1980s was an RCA plant where
they made picture tubes for TVs. Yeah, it was fun for a few years.
That plant is probably an WalMart now.

So you're saying that the MAGA people aren't prepared to pay more for

I follow what Trump does, he knows what is good for us. His bible was

Of course his bibles were printed in China. Of course his sneakers,
watches, guitars, and his other MAGA merch were/are made in China. He
might be insane but he ain't stupid. China is a magical place: you send
them some money and get back stuff that you want for dirt cheap. I can
hardly believe that such a place exists.
