Better they invest in china I guess. I mean the free markets say make business were its most affordable, why even have a country at all.

The problem isn't cronyism, that is a symptom of Apple's market share, not the cause.

According to the Apple press release, it also includes major expansions in San Diego and Culver City, CA, Boulder, Boston, Seattle, and a data center in Iowa.

Boom times ahead!

Temporary construction jobs and overpaid service sector employment that just explodes housing prices and destroys community economics.

We want less of these service sector tech employees who drive up globalization and increased the out precipitous social and political collapse.

Did the OP thank Trump for getting the ball rolling on this? Or can you not bring yourself to do that?
Of course not -- Apple was going strong before Biden, Before Trump, Before Obama.

A 10 year recovery helped every large corporation to obtain resources for expansion.

Naive to think one President had ANYTHING to do with it.

But people play the game.

Apple's expansions are bad for America.

They strangle us with service sector employment, drive up housing prices, and then become our only revenue source.

The correct response would be "thanks Apple!"


It's no wonder corporations are so hesitant to create high paying jobs here. People do not give credit where credit is due. Instead, they kiss politician's behinds and pretend they are the job creators. How stupid...

But when you drive up service sector, doesn't that drive up other sectors as those people spend money on everything from restaurants to big ticket items and yes housing.

Without Apple's expansion house prices are going through the roof.

So Biden reverses all of Trump's policies and they still want to expand.

Seems maybe we should be collecting more taxes from these corporations -- doesn't seem to stop them from growing.
