Apple to bring iPhone production back? Prices to double?

The WORST part is the wife and kid are still in Texas so I'm home alone. What did I do with my "freedom" last night? I saw at home reading Phil Knight's new book, went to bed at 8:45 and woke up at 4:45am this morning. WTF?!?! Is this what happens? Your body won't let you sleep in anymore?

Sleep cycles are a bitch. Once you get one, they're hard to break. I never get more than about 5 or 6 hours of sleep.

if i were to start selling jeans and tell my customers "i need double what the other guy is charging to make a profit" I wonder if the consumers will start buying from the other guy or from me.

If they want to fly to China, sure. Otherwise, everyone's jeans will cost the same. The only difference will be thousands more Americans working, who can afford your jeans.

Is this a discussion about the last 8 years?

You seem to think this is going to happen right? "Rewarding corporations for bad behavior is going to be the norm for the next 4 years." Why would it be a bad thing now if it has been occurring the last 8 years? It is all tied in together.

A trade war with China isn't going to reduce the cost of manufacturing in the U.S. compared to Vietnam. There isn't an upside to a trade war unless seeing more people poor is the goal.

An import tariff would have to apply to everything entering this country.

If Trump cuts corp. tax to 15%, then that ought to also be an incentive to onshore manufacturing.

How so? Taxes are on profits. You still have the issues associated with labor/enviro to deal with. Taxes are not the reason corps. are manufacturing overseas.

Wait....did Obama give a tax holiday for corps. and I missed it?

What excessive tariffs do is cause a trade war in which all sides lose but especially the U.S. It is an excellent way to lower the standards of living in this country and it will not bring manufacturing jobs back.

That isn't what happened at all when Reagan puta 45% tariff on Japanese motorcycles in the '80s.
