No chance in hell Americans are “turning tiny screws” unless people want to pay double for everything.

Differentials of labor pools. Doesn't enter the equation

All the Alzheimer’s and cancer researchers and air traffic controllers they just fired can now spend their lives assembling phones for $7.25 hr. That’s their big plan.

the current line is ignoring that to pivot to “how can we win another world war if we don’t have phone factories that we can then retrofit to make more bullets?”

which is funny for obvious idiot reasons but also bc it implies our current military industrial complex is, uh, famously small and weak?

Tim Apple will be there

Yes. That’s the plan. That’s exactly the plan. Smash people in the head until one of them does something in a week that’s hard to do in a year.

The idea that you can just copy and past Foxconn in the U.S. is absurd for so many reasons. A domestically made iPhone would coat up to $10k, maybe more. The supply chain is fucked by tariffs, and we don't have the skills and workforce to build them well in the short term, let alone the factories.

Listen, they're Americans, not American'ts.

This all gives me flashbacks to Brexit and watching as Vote Leave heavily implied that Syria and Iraq were going to join the EU.
