You argue like a PROGRESSIVE claiming your ends justifies your means, is that it? YOU get to lie to get your point across?

Meanwhile Apple is the largest name brand maker of computers which MAKES COMPUTERS IN THE USA. The iMac is assembled in Elk Grove, CA. and the Mac Pro is completely manufactured in Austin, Texas. Many of the components in the iPhone and iPad are manufactured in the US. . . but that doesn't matter to YOU. 90,000 Apple employees are employed in the US. . . On the other hand, all Android phones are all made in Asia, as are the vast majority of PC computers you tout, and all of their profits redound there, not to a US company. That's really a brilliant plan.

Do you invade the Microsoft/Windows or Android Ping List threads to claim their products are made by suicidal slave laborers, when that is much closer to the facts than your lying claims about Apple?

These are 71 Consumer Electronic companies other than Apple that are among the over 500 companies have their manufacturing and assembly done by Foxconn, yet you always blame Apple for non-existent Apple suicides for a very few suicides that actually occurred occurred at plants making products for Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Sony, and Nokia:

Somehow you DON'T BLAME THEM. . . Yet 59 of them are recognized name brands doing business in the United States. . . but again, you single out Apple, which pays better, and ENFORCES better working conditions for the workers on its products, AND ACTIVELY MONITORS those provisions in its contracted supply chain, which the others do not.

No, the point is that you keep accusing Apple of being responsible for undue suicides, Swordmaker keeps laying out the facts (if anything, Apple is associated with an unusual _decrease_ in suicides), and you respond with some non-sequitur.

And yes, Apple IS starting to move “the whole she-bang ... back to the USA”. Takes a while to relocate a supply/manufacturing chain, worth a good part of a trillion dollars, to another continent.
