They can teach the rows of corn diversity and inclusion .. this field can't all be yellow corn... we need to include other colors of corn.

I think the assembly of those phones is a tiny fraction of what it cost to make. Most of it is IP licensing, cost of the machines to print the chips, R&D, marketing... Problem is we need to move the chip making to USA which would take a lot of $$ and time.Trumps idea is great! Have everything manufactured in the USA and then sell it to Americans and people overseas. Don't rely on having to buy in from other countries so tariff it. No more of those nasty foreign cars or phones or TVs !
I can't wait to see how America is going to produce the 140 million iphones sold there every year. All parts made in the USA in the massive Apple factories there full of skilled employees.. And when Americans have to pay $10,000 for their new phone now it isn't made in China cheaply anymore, I wonder how happy they will be they voted Trump

You don't actually believe snopes....do you? pssst. ICE used the ip addresses from the phones that the biden admin gave them in order to locate them. And perhaps you should look up what happened over in aurora colorado this week.

Surprisingly licensing and royalties is quite a small fraction on a highend phone. Say phone costs $1000 it might be just $30.

All this unvetted immigration is fun and games until it affects you personally. I had what I believe to be MS-13 try to rent my apartment when I had it for rent. Gang tattoos all over face and neck, gold grills top and bottom fresh from Honduras with a brand new baby. No English, no citizenship, fresh in the US staying at a Christian Mission Center. My other renters saw them go through and gave me notice that day. I did not rent to them.
Now, explain to me how I was supposed to do a background check on them? Should I just let them move in when there is a young family downstairs with young children and I own a business next door? What do I do if they decide they don't want to pay rent and have multiple other people move in? What happens if they trash the place and I have no recourse? What happens I go there for rent and get greeted with an AK47 like they did in Aurora?
I worked my a$$ off to buy that rental property and its now part of my retirement just like your 401K's or other investments.
I would really like an answer. If it was YOUR retirement, you wouldn't take the chance either!

Was it these guys?
The 'hosts on The View said these are some pretty shady characters and Chuck Schumer has them under surveillance.
Exactly, the cost of setting up the factories, training people, paying ten times the wages the chinese get paid etc... This will lead to a great import market where the chinese can still sell for a fraction of a US made product, so the US factories will go bust .
I don't think Trump supporter actually realise it is the public end up paying the tariffs, not the exporters or importers. All Trump has done is make things more expensive. Great move!
What happens if you rent to what seems to be a wholesome white American, and they do the same?

Stay strong Stacy, hopefully they get rounded up and thrown out of the plane when it is over the Gulf of America on it’s way to South America.

Geneva, you can really say with a straight face that Biden was the most corrupt? Do you follow what Trump is doing or do you just blindly follow him. Hawking bibles , sneezers, cheezy baseball cards, worthless bit coin, charging the government inflated rates for his security to stay in his hotels. The list is endless.

You feel it’s a huge conspiracy?? What do you think of MTG, space lasers, really?
Rabbit Hole much?
Did we ever figure out who was 'eating the dogs, eating the cats, eating our pets'? Infrastructure week will be next week, and next week. and next week: oops, it never came! But, we have a "great concept of a plan" to replace Obamacare, and we'll announce it next week. next week. next week. next week. O fuckit, John MaCain was a loser for volunteering and getting shot down. My bone spurs hurt: bring me a diet coke.

Tex, I think ProTN was referring to the Ohio town that got an influx of Haitians brought in during the boarder crisis. Not the Chinese that are known for eating strange animals from the open air markets that our government tried to tell us Covid came from and bats being sold in those places. And when Gino talks about eating "dogs” he is referring to hot dogs.
