As the nuclear option, the USG could simply force them to stop doing business in the US. That would effectively put them out of business and would never happen.

- xamolxix 12y agoI am sure that people in other countries buy Apple products.
- SEJeff 12y agoYes but all of their designers, developers, etc, are all in the US. Note that all Apple stuff says, "Designed in California". If all of your non-manufacturing is shut down, the company is shut down. I think you failed to see this point.
- xamolxix 12y agoYou are right on both points. They do say that (I see now that my laptop says "designed by Apple in California") and yes, I did not imagine that all of their engineers are in the US. I would still guess that they would try to move to another country rather than shutting down. I admit that it would be hard if not impossible.
