I don't think that you'd get argument that Democrats have ruined California as a place to manufacture computers. The factory that will lose the business is there.
Its in Texas.
Apple’s decision coincides with the end of tax subsidies that it got for making the desktop in a plant in Texas run by contract manufacturer Flex Ltd, according to the Journal. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-a...-idUSKCN1TT227
I hate that they will be made in China, but unless the quality drops, Ill stick with my MacBook pros. Ill never go back to a windows platform by choice.

Oh, you and your pesky facts. Wouldn't it be so much easier to post total BS?
When the subsidies ceased, Apple moved manufacturing to where they believed they could get the most bang for their buck.

No different than all those who carry on about how ain't China awful as they wander through Walmart buying their made-in-China underwear.
Hell, even Trump's 2020 banners are made in China.

Its not the MacBooks. These are the Mac Pro desk top models, which are very good for graphic design.
I like my Mac too. Once you go Mac, you never go back.
Another win for shareholders and the finance sector.
How much you want to bet the savings will not be passed to the consumer?
The prices will remain the same and the sharks on Wall Street will rake in the money.
Yes. People pretend they can't make money manufacturing in the United States. But their labor cost and production cost here are more than covered by the cost of the product.
They offshore because they want to maximize their bottom end.
Businesses need to be loyal to America and its workers, not international finance.
Ah, I remember the nationalist days way back when folks took hammers to the foreign cars in the parking lots.
(now 100's of thousands of Americans work in the supply chains for factories for the same companies!)

Why?
Accepting a lower quality is great if your supporting the foundation of American industry.
Same with any product, its not about your consumer satisfaction, but the socioeconomic well-being of our country and a sense of national unity.
I blame the financial markets, corporations, and free trade agreements. But consumers should also care more about things besides their own comfort and material well being.
