Bribery Works

So you're all in on slave labor, Got it.
Having said that, they will have the lowest income taxes in the world,
in the most stable industrialized country in the world.

Chinese slave labor wages are a product of billionaire (mostly republic) business owners offshoring. Little late to change that.

You and I will be paying more so they can pay less.

And this country is far from stable at this point.

Slave labor is a product of the Chinese government, Crep.

You still are in favor of slave labor, just admit it.

This country IS the most stable industrialized country in the world.
I know you hate this country, but........

Today:

Phones, other electronics exempt from new tariffs, Trump administration says​

​

The Trump administration announced late Friday night that smartphones, computers and other electronic components are exempt from what the White House calls “reciprocal” tariffs, days after the United States imposed the highest levies on foreign goods in a century.


[snip]


For makers of electronics, particularly Apple, the break on tariffs is likely to be a huge relief. Apple has faced the prospect of a new import tax of roughly $700 or more on each $1,000 iPhone imported from China, based on tariff rates the White House increased to at least 145 percent.

At least for now, Apple won’t have to decide whether to take a hit to its profits or possibly raise prices significantly for iPhone buyers.


TA-DAAAAA!

Bribery works.

Trump has made our country as corrupt as Russia.

Hunter proved bribery works...as long as daddy is president.

And what are "mostly republic billionaires" pray-tell?

American investment drives it.

AND you're still for slave labor. I'm assuming you're so
deep into it, you can't walk it back.

No, you're just pretending to know what I'm talking about without really understanding it.

 

[Meister]

Oh I understand completely. You blame the US for what China's government allowing
what's going on in their country. Got it.

No one gave Trump more money and help than Elon. Did Tesla get an exemption? If not, your theory is massively flawed.

I just showed precidence of a company not fulfilling its investment promises.

Foxconn scaled back their plans in Wisconsin the day Joe Xiden, bought and paid for champion of Chinese manufacturing, took office.

 

[Stann]

All of the corrupted Progressives in jail from the state of New Jersey and Atlantic City may have stories to tell. Only Progs could ruin gambling. The betting parlors in New York State are the same way. All in bed with corrupted unions and mobsters. That city should look built up and pristine. Everyone had their hands in the cookie jar. Including many low-income residents who got rich.

Are you talking about trump ?

Does a newly elected president invalidate the promises of corporate investment?

Sure does tell on which side those President's bread is buttered.

Trump attempted to secure jobs for Americans, and as soon as Biden got in, Foxconn knew they were all good and backed out.

Hard to spin that any other way.

Well, either way you want to go politically, Foxconn reneged on their investment promises. Do we agree on that?

Yes. And it makes sense for them to do so. For as long as they can employee virtually slave labor in China with no repercussions, there is no incentive to do otherwise.

The tariffs are the repercussions.

We have to level the cheap labor playing field...and we can absolutely see that is not a priority for the new Democrat Party.

Fair enough. I don't believe it's going to work.

 

[Missourian]

Let's hope it does. We need more good paying jobs in the US. Every dollar we send overseas is a dollar not recycled in our own communities.

Maybe this is the reason.

Apple will spend more than $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years​

Apple today announced its largest-ever spend commitment, with plans to spend and invest more than $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. This new pledge builds on Apple’s long history of investing in American innovation and advanced high-skilled manufacturing, and will support a wide range of initiatives that focus on artificial intelligence, silicon engineering, and skills development for students and workers across the country.

You are tying to make sense to absolute retards.

That's not going to work.

 

[Billiejeens]

I believe It's more about populism. Gotta keep those screens affordable so the sheep stay addicted to propaganda.

The propaganda is 95% pro Democrat.

How much of that $500 billion will be a tax writeoff for Apple?
