> It’s national interest protection .

The US has no national interest in the Mac Mini, or the Mac Pro for that matter. Homeland security isn't reliant on Apple datacenters. The Mac comprises less than 10% of Apple's yearly revenue, almost lower-profit than the iPad. Manufacturing Macs in the US doesn't even secure your pension.

The iPhone comprises a minor national interest corollary to Apple's stock price, but that's never being onshored. Apple would go bankrupt paying Americans to assemble the iPhone, and if you don't believe me then Google the leaked BOMs.


Well, it’s the last company who has more or less complete clue on how to build computers.

When the war will start what wit China are you going to use ? What’s even more critical who will be the one who will start manufacturing?

Yeah maybe it’s a tiny drop in the ocean , but that’s the start at least of something. Not just installing solar toilets billed as solar panels for $40k as it was under previous administration


Why is it a good thing? Manufacturing jobs are horrible, ask anyone who had one.

The US built a high margins service economy.

This is two steps backwards, no step forwards sort of a deal.


This is why we have troubles. This is so delusional in many ways. You can’t be high margin without building at least something . You can’t be a successful country full of lawyers and doctors only. You have to actually build something

> You can’t be a successful country full of lawyers and doctors only. You have to actually build something

The GDP sector composition of most of the largest economies is heavily service biased. So, no.


Gambia has 70% of service economy. Do you want USA live like Gambia ? With your logic money grows on the trees. Services inside of the country does not produce anything. US doctors able to buy Mercedes cars from Germany because this country still exports windows and iPhones.

> Gambia has 70% of service economy. Do you want USA live like Gambia ?

What are you even talking about.

Iraq economy is almost 60% industrial, are they doing better than Ireland? Of course not.

Also, the US is the second largest country by motor vehicle production in the world. And the US GDP is 80% service derived.
