Another win for state economic planning.
- tooltalk 5y agoor more appropriately, it's a win for corporatism led by a multinational company called Apple.
- rbanffy 5y agoI’m sorry, but Apple is very much an American company. They only use suppliers in China because capitalism forced them to, otherwise they’d be unable to provide the goods at prices their users would be willing to pay.
- tooltalk 5y agoin light of the recent disclosure that Tim Apple committed $270B worth of goodies for China to win some favors from uncle Xi, nobody is buying this rather lame execuse anymore.
- rbanffy 5y agoWhat alternative do they have? To let their competitors beat them? Would the US be better off then?
- tooltalk 5y agoAsk Google, Facebook, or better yet Samsung. Apple has no direct competition in the premium phone segment and consequently takes 70% of the entire industry's profit share, despite only 15% in global unit sales. Not everyone thinks Apple's profit should come before America's national or economic interest.
