Th point is the whole she-bang cold move back to the USA, employ lots of Americans and Apple and its stock holders would be fine. American workers first. 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.
You argue like a PROGRESSIVE claiming your ends justifies your means, is that it? Hmmm, I argue like lets see, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. And you? You are a Free Trade Marxist.
Are you a protectionist? You might be surprised to know that you probably are and that you are part of a fraternity that includes John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Mason, and George Washington. That's right; America's Founding Fathers were hard-core protectionists. In fact, the central reason for the creation of our Constitution was to establish protectionism as our national economic policy.
This is out of print but keep checking, it should be a good read.
