You're a horrible liar, and making things up again. Grow up. I never came up with that example, and certainly never made the case it was the best example. Liar.
Apple has many facilities in the USA, unlike Samsung (crickets...). And Apple is investing $350 billion over the next 5 years in the U.S.A. That is billions, not millions. That averages out to $70 billion a year - a far cry from the $500 million you said. Why don't you try being an American for once, and buy American products instead of pushing commie Samsung stuff that is Korean.
What a tantrum! Remember, we are only talking about cell phones here. You obviously have an unhealthy obsession. I don’t even use mine unless I am on the road. I quoted only from you, the links that you provided, and the results from the Google search that you suggested. And you are the one who brought Samsung into the discussion. What we are hearing from you is called “projection”. Save your phony outrage and foul mouthed name calling for your lefty Apple Fan Boy LBGTQWTF forums.
“Roadcat, is doing what the media and anti-Trumpers always seem to do... trying to confuse the issue by bringing in an outside entity, Samsung.” from me, post 55.
““The software is also designed locally and a $500-million data center was even built in North Carolina.” from roadcat post 44. What other links or posts did you provide detailing Apple’s investments in America? Nothing until I pressed you.
Grow up and keep your foul mouthed accusations to yourself or use them in your lefty teenaged Apple Fan Boy forums where they can be appreciated.
You said in post 57, “And Apple is investing $350 billion over the next 5 years in the U.S.A.”
From Apple itself... if you read past the very misleading headline, “Apple expects to invest over $30 billion in capital expenditures in the US over the next five years and create over 20,000 new jobs through hiring at existing campuses and opening a new one.”

I personally will be surprised if they do a tenth of that, especially considering that you and Apple both consistently exaggerate by a factor of around ten. To put it in perspective for you... if someone told you they were going to give you $500 and gave you $50 instead no one would blame you called them a liar.
So when you say that “Apple is investing $350 billion over the next 5 years in the U.S.A.” and Apple themselves say they are going to invest $30 billion... that kind of makes you a liar doesn't it? But please don't worry... its basically just you and I left in this conversation and I don't think you are truly a liar. I just think you are immature, have nasty tantrums, and are stupid.
