Truly this will bring back American manufacturing!
- tobias3 2y agoThe factories will be disassembling the laptops, taking out the batteries. Then the empty laptops will be sent back to China. That will increase exports to China as well.

So they ship the laptops to Texas, "materially transform" them, package and ship to the customer. You can be sure some crony owns the company that screws the display and puts stickers on the laptop with minimum wage workers.
