Apple have given up the means of production if true they are doomed

[Furunculus]

yeah but who wants to run a production line in america ill be honest, we are more lazy, more expensive, and worse workers.

i'm with Centurion.

i even gave you guys an article detailing how little of the value of a product lies in manufacture, and how hi-tech companies keep the profits despite the perception of china-takes-all, and all i get is silence!

you want to live in a run-down peasant tenement in 25 years time, then fine, keeping trying to out-compete china on manufacturing costs, your retirement will be grim.

if not then invent to crazy new *(^% that other people just have to have in their products, compete or die.*




* or try to live in the EU where they will raise tariffs and pretend the rest of the world isn't happening whilst demographics nosedive.
