President Donald Trump rejected an effort by Apple to seek a waiver on tariffs imposed on its premium computer assembled in China, insisting that the tech giant should manufacture its goods in America.

The last generation of Mac Pro actually was made in Texas. Apple decided right in the midst of a trade war that they are going to move the production of a low-volume professional grade product to China. What a bunch of retards.

Inside the article they elude to why. I can't copy paste from my phone for whatever reason but essentially the production of Texas sourced Mac Pros was severely bottlenecked due to a custom screw supposedly readily available in China but not in the US.

the solution is to bulk order the screws from china, not ship the whole damned operation there

then make that custom screw locally aswell.
mass transport produce carbon emission.
why are derpocrats so intent on destroying muh environment with no reason at all outside of pure dogmatism?
and by dogmatism, i mean faggotry.

Perhaps its just the way you phrased it. But that sounds like the most retarded excuse ive ever heard.
You can buy a Lathe from America and manufacture any screw you like. It might cost fifty cents rather than two cents but thats fine for a premium product.

the real solution is to use a normal 6-32 screw like literally every other PC manufacturer

That would make too much sense

Reminder that Trump gave Apple a huge tax cut not too long ago and those fucks still made them in China.

Now they can suck it up.

Sure. We should all believe a trillion dollar company doesn't have the knowledge required to figure out how to make a custom screw.
