That's OK -- I am waiting for maybe the ghost of David Souter to live in Justice Barrett's head.

50% tariff on iphones is a great idea, have to pay down the national debt. So, thank you Apple users.

Letting a sociopath destroy the country, just so you can own the libs, is a foolish plan. It will not end well for anyone.

Australia has a leftist government. Its Medicare system is far superior to the American version, which is being slashed as I post.

 

The minimum wage in America is USD 7.25 an hour. The last time it was adjusted upwards was 2009. Meantime, the annual average rate of inflation in America is 2.35%, over 15 years.

 

The minimum wage in Australia is AUD 24.10. The average annual rate of inflation there is 2.42% over the last 15 years.

 

The idiots rejoicing over liberal tears don't realize the inflation steamroller is going to crush them just as much as the poor, unless they are very rich.

There's more for the Trump Admin to handle.

Unfortunately Trump has zero understanding of globalization, and the inherent ecosystems within the global manufacturing systems. It is virtually impossible to make an iPhone in the US without it costing an absolute fortune. These jobs that Trump keeps referring to will not return to the US, the US will never "become great again", and Trump is only diminishing the nation with his sheer stupidity and ignorance. 

 

Donald Trump. 

Making America less relevant, less dependable, less trusted, and more hated by the day. 

“Trump has zero understanding of globalization “

 

And you are the resident expert?

 

Why aren’t you in the WH?

While I am no fan of their phones, I dare you to name a better desktop computer system, or a better laptop. I bet you can't do that because there are none. Apple simply makes the best computers on the planet. And they have been a huge boon to the US economy, and the Goombah just doesn't get any of that. His level of idiocy is mind boggling. 

 

I actually used a Mac Laptop for over a year recently, work gave me one. Build quality was okay, it still chipped the screen when i dropped it, performance was okay but still had problems. I now have a Lenovo business laptop, a Thinkbook. I much prefer it, simply because I prefer Windows to the Mac OS. In terms of build quality the Lenovo is comparable, I don't notice any major chip advantages from Apples much touted chip.

 

The build quality of the laptops is good, but uninspiring, very few connectivity options. Lenovo has far more..

You can buy an esim capable phone on Lazada for 1600 baht. Haven't used Apple for years. Sad for them. All the phones in LOS use real sim cards and they are still available in the US as well.

If Trump, on top of killing off VoA, manages to kill off this eyesore Apple, then he will rise even higher in the pantheon of one he already occupies. For, this closed eco-system that is apple which monitors what apps you get to see and don't like a cheap censor, this overpriced underwhelming hardware which sees Iphone charging speeds outclassed by Chinese Android phones many times over, not to mention the many flaws in performance, it is just embarassing. Anyone who buys an Iphone needs their head examined.

 

Killl Apple off, the world will be so much the better for it.

 

Trump wins for the world again.

That’s odd here I have my iPad it does many amazing things each and every day I’m flabbergasted and in awe that this device gives me access to the sum knowledge of mankind throughout our collective history.and this is an eyesore to you…..and yes they are protective of their business…sorry but I beg to differ this device is absolutely amazing!

I have a Samsung tablet which is amazing and the best buy I ever made. I can't opine on the Ipad, but I think tablets generally are superb devices if they're well made.

 

In terms of the laptops, the only thingI really appreciated was the charging cable that detached as it was magnetic. Apart from that I don't see any advantage of the Apple laptops over the Lenovo, both have fingerprint scanners, both are very well made with premium materials, both are fast enough for work. 

 

If Apple disappeared tomorrow, nobody would be worse off.
