    > Ctrl-F "china", "manufacturing"

    > Zero results

    Apple never had a "soul," it never had "values." The OP was just suckered by its marketing and the fact it was previously being sycophantic towards political groups the OP likes.

    Now someone else in in power that the OP doesn't like as much. That's what changed, not Apple.

      The article links to https://www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-crisis-no-5, which goes deep into China and manufacturing.

        Yeah, but it's obvious the OP doesn't really care about that, as he spend paragraph after paragraph talking about anything but.

        It's pretty clear the OP just had a delusional view of Apple, and is now only coming to realize things that have been true for a long time.

    Monopolies are rearing their ugly heads again. It's as if we learned nothing.

    When you have an egocentric geriatric with unpredictable impulses as President, you need to "say" the right things. Doing is another matter. I pity the USA at this moment.

      I learned this with new pronouns. What I think... isn't what I say.

        Sounds like communism in Eastern Block 1948~1989

          Please elaborate the damage done by phrases of civility around pronous, that would justify vehement opposition. Dont worry, you can speak ill about communism to me.
