NYT: Why Apple won't make iPhones in the US - Business - US business - The New York Times - msnbc.com
Yup, Americans workers can't compete with 16 hour a days at @ $0.70 hour.
The unfortunate part is that Apple could afford to hold their manufacturers to a higher standard of sweatshop labor and pay them more. Given their enormous profits margins, they could still remain competitive.
If Americans workers want to compete, then we need to drop the minimum wage down to $1.00 hour, get rid of child labor laws, expand the work week, eliminate health and safety laws in the workplace, ban unions, and reduce protection for the environment.
