They’re literally opening a new 20,000 square foot facility I Houston. So I’m not sure what your comment implies, but it takes time to build things like that.

  i guess he's wondering if they finally managed to secure a domestic screw producer or they're if importing them from China?

    Houston is a net exporter of screw [0]. But in seriousness, Houston has domestic production of fasteners etc for oil and gas as well as NASA. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Screw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Screw

      it's a reference to the last time Apple tried this in Austin, their production was throttled due to the inability of their screw supplier to meet demand. https://mashable.com/article/apple-mac-pro-screw https://mashable.com/article/apple-mac-pro-screw
