Yep — I believe I posted that here or somewhere near here three months ago. Was the first thing I thought of when he started droning on about how good tariffs were. The odd (and admittedly irrelevant) irony of course is that Ben Stein worked in the Nixon White House — and was one of the very last to come to the realiz(s)ation that his boss was a crook (per Woodward and Bernstein’s “The Final Days”).

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.
