John Gruber describes fluidly why the dream of making iPhones in the United States is just sheer fantasy.
“United States doesn’t have anyone with the necessary vocational skills, who would want to work tedious factory jobs at factory-job wages, and China does. That’s part of the fever-dream mad-king fantasy of this entire cockamamie endeavor by Trump: these are difficult, low-paying, long-houred jobs that Americans don’t want. That these jobs are all in China and India is proof that America is far ahead, not that we’ve fallen behind.”
Of course I agree! Asking Apple to make the iPhones in the US is rotten non-sense coming out of a necrotic mind.
