So now we're expected to go back in time and use inferior technologies here because a bunch of old guys can't agree on things? I don't remember this being in the rallies.

Back to politics again, huh?

Can't blame them. They are just a contract manufacturer who setup factories where their customers want them to. Their middle managements are usually from Taiwan to begin with and can move to Vietnam etc.

Problem is most of their customers also don't know where they want Foxconn etc to move their factories to either. Remember Foxconn is just making 6% above cost, and it is the customers' job to tell them where to setup and build things.

Pretty much only Apple and Microsoft would have a say no longer HP

We better work on obtaining more rare Earth metals asap too.

Someone posted there is 1 - I believe there are 7 here - and limited exploration - new ideas like lithium from well bores etc … I go back to what I’ve said for years - we waste much of it on these backup centers that have now started to burn down …

This is the country we're doing business with. You get "disappeared" extremely quickly and efficiently over there.
