I don't, this is not a good thing. Threatening a company with punitive action bcz they didn't capitulation to your whims is not a good thing. Nevermind that you cant just up and move your manufacturing overnight.
The right way to bring manufacturing back is to give companies incentives and investment funds for bringing manufacturing back over a certain number of years. A carrot and honey are a lot more convincing than vinegar when trying to get what you want.
on the other hand, who in America can hold trump accountable? don't tell me it's "the people"
That's all true. But how do you feel for buying an already overpriced product, made by a greedy company which acts against software developers (by prohibidding selling their software on other market places and dictating prices), the environment, and the customer (repairability, compatibility and more restrictions) and the state (tax evasion)? I think Apple should get what they deserve.
Nobody forces people to buy Apple devices and no one forces developers to support Apple devices.
Yeah, right before we all go to work camps bcz the Trump administration said so. Great compromise.
