It’s funny watching these trillion dollar companies scramble to move product to squeeze The last bit of profits they can out of the American consumer. If China is so great why not keep the product there and mark up the price American pay and capture the revenue over there.
If China is so great
In this case the phones were being shipped over from India.

Logic still applies to China or India. Neither can’t compete with the American consumer

but they do, don't they?

This sounds like typical Marxist claptrap. Apple only makes the phone because Americans (and many others( have found them extremely useful, and Apple can sell them for more than they pay under the previous tariff regime. There's no ulterior motive to "squeeze" profits out of people. There's just THE profit motive. Leftists act as if corporations kidnap people, take them to their stores and threaten them to make a transaction. No, you're only gonna make things people want to give you their money for. Profit is what makes that possible.

Wrong the artificial low wage Chinese workers make this even possible for Apple to act this way. Due to their communist government the employees don’t have the right to assemble and form a union and demand higher wages.
reply
Again, typical Marxist claptrap. A communist country is one big union, ya dope!

Forced by murder and prison. Get real dude

You're literally forced to be in unions in most blue states for certain professions. Sure you won't go to prison or be murdered (if you try to leave) but not being able to work (and have a decent life) unless you agree to have someone negotiate for you is not much better.

But this distortion is the reason the true cost of labor isn’t discovered. The world isn’t operating on free market principles. American corporations didn’t want to pay American workers what they felt was a fair wage so the used globalism and the rules based order to drive the cost of labor to zero by taking advantage of governments and people who have no rights or just haven’t developed the knowledge and compassion to run an economy based on western ideals or they just live in a crappy location with no resources
