Have they tried giving Trump ANOTHER Million dollars? Maybe a BILLION dollars? I Don’t Know the Current Price for our Non Corrupt Administration!

What could have protected Apple other than a reasonable trade policy or a specific exemption? I don’t think Trump would have done either for anyone.
Unless they swear fealty and pay him
No, I don’t think that would have worked. Many did and it didn’t work. These tariffs are Trump’s pet project - he’s not going to compromise on them easily.
Haven’t paid enough and haven’t kneeled hard enough yet.
No one except the top fascist wins in fascism. Literally anyone who has read history can tell you that.
Famously even fascists don’t win forever.

The inevitable conclusion of 50 years of neoliberalism running your country is that you end up with a generation of capitalists and political leaders that can’t manufacture anything, don’t understand how manufacturing works, have no concept of the kind of infrastructure necessary to manufacture things, and need a panel of experts to politely explain that not only does their country not have the personnel or facilities to manufacture things but that the social mechanisms for educating that workforce and building those facilities have atrophied from non-use to the point of collapse.
And this is ignoring the fact that production lines have become so used to literal millions-strong workforces being centralized in massive Asian cities (that the west can’t build because of fifty million other reasons all along the same lines of atrophied levers of power and total contradiction with major profit centers, like mass transit or basic urban planning) that even if we did manage to overcome all those problems we’d still be radically changing what existing supply chains look like and essentially reinventing the core business model of dozens of major industries at once while they’re still running at typical capacity, something that capitalists famously love doing.
There’s a whole lot of finding out about to happen.
Frankly true.
Maybe they didn’t kneel hard enough?
Or Tim didn’t say thank you for being allowed to join the inauguration.
Tim Cook sold Apple’s principles for safety and now he has neither.
No one could have seen this coming. Especially not the people that warned this is exactly what would happen.
Too bad for poor Tim Apple
the rotten apple effect
One bad Apple spoils the bunch.
