I think unfortunately there’s a lot of truth to it. It’s because these traitorous globalist countries have invested so much into manufacturing their shit in these Asian countries for the last 40 years that all the refinements and innovation on the factory floor has actually happened THERE and not in the west. Just as an example I’ve personally seen, sometime in the last ten years the cheap guitars you’d get from places like Indonesia and China crossed over to the quality of American-made instruments. I have a $2400 American Professional strat and I hate to admit it but it’s no better (aside from hardware) from a $450 Yamaha Pacifica I also have.

It should be noted China offsets the price by printing money and subsidizing the cost of manufacturing directly and indirectly.

You're talking about quality of product. I'm saying that's he's lying when he claims that labor costs have nothing to do with Apple's decision making process.
