Judge Parker - I see the LP Kloaughns ganging up on you at LP. You are a fine poster and there is no need for that sort of nonsense as WhiteSands, Gatlin, harrowup and their esteemed client, "yukon" have created.
Come on over to LF and eventually leave LP. Although I can't speak for others on LF, I can say that you are an excellent poster worthy of respect and admiration similar to many others that have a personal opinion without gang warfare tactics.
Judge, LP has descended into the caveland-dwellers days of thousands of yesteryears of crude prehistoric prehumans. You need not waste your excellent posts upon mere cretins, they don't understand how to understand your concepts, ideas or opinions.
Best Regards!

Read the article, stupid:
"The other Asian countries -- particularly Japan, but also Korea and Taiwan -- do not have low labor costs. Indeed, Japan and Korea are members of the Organization for Economic Development (OECD), the long time rich nations club. Furthermore, the parts they supply for the iPhone -- semiconductor chips, displays, lenses, etc. are not labor intensive. They are capital and, above all, technology intensive. Exactly the kind of products in which the United States is supposed to be the leader. So if America actually did produce the stuff it says it is good at producing, it wouldn't have a trade deficit with Asia for which China is the proxy at all. It would have a trade surplus and 20-40,000 more jobs than it has."
Unless you are knowledgeable about Apple's inability to compete because of economy of scale disadvantage - you're not worth talking to - you're just too ignorant. Many of the components are made with laborers making as much or more than Americans - and we can't compete - because of the mistakes of the people supported by Democrats and Republicans. Get a clue - dummy.

Excellent point … “without knowledge, one is ignorant.â€
Judge Parker, are you knowledgeable of the identity of the lead contractor and place of assembly of the iPhone?
IOW, who’s the real manufacturer of the iPhone?
Clue: It’s not Taiwan's Foxconn.
