Because we Americans believe in the power of free markets when we purchase goods and services, but then are bewildered at the same dynamics at play in the labor market. We are selling our time just like a company sells its products.  If a company can get the same labor for cheaper, what is stopping it?  Solution - l...more

Not this **** again.  It's a requirement to manufacture in the US to be considered an American company now? Instead, the US handles the marketing, the software programming, the hardware engineering, design, and even the profit margin.  Apple's average margin is 40%, and that stays in the US undoubtedly.  The only th...more

They have roughly 50,000 employees in the US.  Many are designers, engineers, and professionals.  These are some of the most highly-trained, talented people in the world.  To deride the company of its accomplishments because they don't perform the menial manufacturing capability in this country is ridiculous.

This is spot-on.  Congress is unwilling to get its act together by cutting the deficit, balancing the budget, or even passing a budget.  Bernanke is doing what he can with the tools he is given.  As such, lower interest rates are necessary as the size of the debt increases.

Dude, relax.  It's not this country that's having problems finding water, it's developing economies in Asia and the Middle East that do not have abundant supplies. You don't understand the problem, as evidenced by your statement that water is not hard to find because the oceans are so vast.  To that, I say go fill u...more

They're all manufactured in China.  They're all manufactured by Foxconn. IT'S THE SAME DAMN THING, YOU IDIOTS!!
