@stux Trivial, making cheaply US-made laptops.

Import laptops as a whole.

Disassemble them for the parts.

Reassemble them from the cheap parts (because they were imported not as parts but as sub-assemblies of a laptop).

Laptop made (assembled to be truthful) in the USA.

Idiot #Trump happy, you get innovation price, and if you do it right potentially some nice subsidies from the the #Trumpregime for proving that making good cheap #USmade laptops is possible. 1/2

@fortune @politics-fortune Don't worry, if you wait till 2027 or 2028, you'll be able to get an all #usmade iPhone, even more expensive.

Please note that all these #usmade won't be saleable outside the USA, because of retaliatory tariffs on #usmade products, so #apple will be forced to produce #nonusmade iPhones and Macs for the rest of the world.

And till then it's super expensive or no iPhones from Asia,

Or you can go the proven way of Communist economy of scarcity, raising prices 1/2

Why aren't all Boeing's management in jail?

"Two Boeing 737 passenger planes have been involved in accidents in Senegal and Turkey on takeoff and landing, raising further questions about the aircraft manufacturer’s safety record."
