Precisely why it’s cheaper to build there. China getting dunked on by Mexico, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Covid

China is smart though, it’s just hard to outsmart the unholy market which cares nothing for people

I would guess it would vary. If there was a domestic iphone factory I assume the price of an iphone would go up, but is that true for all products?
yes, the reason we build them all in foreign countries is because

a. environmental regulations
b. 1$ an hour

If we moved stuff here, everything would be vastly more expensive. But that is actually a good thing.

You should still have your 2nd iphone, maybe 3rd at this point. Not 30th

This is from the 1990s so that means people like Jib will relate with it.

Funny how republicans still use the tired catch phrase that America is becoming Communist and socialist.

I mean, Mexico does have a lot of organized violence caused by the cartels and they are smuggling fentanyl

I don’t think he’s wrong about that

Can't believe we can see the flaws inherent in letting foreign nationals own farms in Texas

But the same people who thumbs up a plan like this would scream socialism if we were proposing banning large domestic real estate investment companies from owning swaths of homes that they rent

Or, at least, I think. I don't see Republicans supporting such action, if it were to get proposed
