I don't understand why people get mad at Apple. Get mad at American consumers for demanding, no worse, feeling entitled to paying extremely low prices for very high tech things. Apple could use American manufacturing and either produce crap at low profits, or extremely expensive gadgets no one could afford. Instead, they produce millions of devices people want and buy, then have to explain themselves for not employed good old fashioned American labor in their factories.
They're creating high tech, high-skilled jobs (product design, software development, hardware diagnosis and repair) at home, and outsourcing the low-tech low-skilled jobs to foreigners.
- doctorwho 15y agoI'm happy they're doing well. They have made smart business decisions and some great products. I just wish they'd stop trying to spin everything. They made the decision to ship jobs overseas and that was good for their bottom line, but instead of talking about that, they talk about how many US jobs they've created. It's not an honest conversation.
- rsanchez1 15y agoIt's not that people feel entitled to paying extremely low prices. People will just go with the cheapest option. I don't go with cheaper options because I feel entitled. I go with cheaper options because I want to save money. They once did create expensive gadgets no one could afford. Macs used to cost a lot more than PCs. Then Apple moved labor overseas, started pricing their products competitively, and now they have the highest market cap.
