The most expensive iPhone retails for $1200, with a manufacturing price of ~$500 and net profit of ~$700.

So if an iPhone costs $3500 to make domestically, then Apple would need to sell it for $4200 to make the same profit. But even if Trump levies his 100% tariff on China, it would still be significantly cheaper for Apple to make iPhones in China and pay 2x the manufacturing costs ($1000), add the same $700 profit, and just charge $1700 for the same model.

So in the end no new domestic manufacturing jobs are made, Apple, an American company, loses business because less people would buy at a higher price, and American consumers get shafted.

It’s just a joke reference to some people who hold onto a domain specifically for their pet project that they aren’t actively pursuing. I’m sure it doesn’t apply to everyone

Why stop at 1

Except these guys never go after the Catholic Church

Cryptocurrencies: higher transaction fees, slower transaction times, and zero consumer protections compared to just using a credit card.

On the other hand, crypto is also terrible for the environment.

Sounds good. Btw can you name a single Republican who supports Palestine? I can only seem to find Democrats. Just want to know when you help the Republicans win :)

This guy only posts articles calling out democrats, and does not mention republicans at all. So it’s definitely not implied that he supports one over the other. Especially when this specific line is the most popular wedge issue for conservative-aligned interests, despite once again democrats being substantially more progressive on this issue.

And whataboutism? The GOP is one of two parties in a two party system, with the other being democrats. So yes it’s natural that if you mention one party’s stance you would then also mention the other.

Also just lol at immediately responding with name calling. Btw can you name a single Republican that’s advocated for Palestine? Because I see a lot of Ds, but not a single R.

Just curious why your entire account is countless articles criticizing democrats for their Palestine stance while applying absolutely no scrutiny to republicans, despite republicans being infinitely more hardline pro-Israel?

Whenever someone pulls out the “dEmOcRaTs WeRe ThE cOnFeDeRaTeS” argument, you know they’re either dumb as fuck or arguing entirely in bad faith. Like bro the parties switched in the 1960s it’s just names at this point.
