Apple has their hands tied because of all the factories churning out their products that would come to a standstill if the Chinese government decided it wanted to. It's sad and unfortunate, but what other business decision would a CEO make if 80-90% of their future revenue stream disappeared overnight? Can someone else help me play devil's advocate? In any case, if we're so innovative as a country why can't we make more stuff here, that's the only solution, not globalism. This scenario is an unintended consequence of globalism. Apple isn't intentionally being bad, they probably don't have a choice, right? They put too many eggs in one basket. You can say too bad, but when the banks were bailed out, I was saying they deserved to go under as well.
