The responses are great - they just can't see it - "oh Apple doesn't need to make 50% profit on everything they won't do it" - in recent years large corporations have GOT USED to big profits and see it as their rights - we see it here with water companies - does anyone really think wangling larger rate rises really will result in new reservoirs, new sewage plants and investment? They will just continue to take huge rewards and dividends hiding behind the fact that planning laws cause delay - that it will all take time to work through the system. MAGA cultists are still deluding themselves.

I suspect Dopey Donald would expect all the bits to be manufactured in the USA instead, might cause a few delays while they build the factories and find people with the skills like.

This has opened the door for Comac to replace Boeing as the second major aircraft manufacturer. Obviously not overnight but it will happen.
