He thinks it's high school where he can bully other kids and that he can get China to kneel to him. I am sure they have lots of pride as a nation of hard working men, women and children.

I just ordered a new mac. I have the option of not collecting it. If I
don't collect, the deal expires and I don't lose anything. It's very
nice to have an option to go Paper Tiger.

Should I leave it in the hopes that Apple will start dumping computers
to Europe. I assume they're made in China. The problem is that I kind of
need it.

Trump wants e.g. better balanced trade, is willing to wage "war" with others by having more or fewer container ships. Boohoo.

And yet you're so appreciative of Chinese pride in this case. Trump is a "bully".


That's all fine, but when Biden tried to install his army in Russian sphere, literally tried not to bully but wanted Russia to kneel before and started a real war in which people still die, you approved of him.


Lol what a clown.

I just got a new computer a month ago, glad I did. Now i don't have to
worry about a trade war regarding my computer system.

Nope, Pelle. Thailand, India, Vietnam.

CNN says iPhones could cost $3500 if they were made in the US. I'll put
that down to $2500 with more imported Demmie voters from the shores of
the Gulf of Mexico.

But it's a good thing, it means people would buy it less often which would force products to become more durable and lasting, meaning less waste and so on.

My 15 Pro max cost $3,000 as it has 1TB. Think I'll get the 17 when it
comes out soon, but also toying with getting Samsung 25 Ultra and having
2 phones for a year or so. I'm kind of locked into the Apple ecosystem
and it would be too disruptive to bail out completely, but am curious to
see how Samsung has changed since I had the S9.

If they go up a lot due to tarrifs will have to think about it. Only an
idiot would pay 6k+ for a phone right? 3k is bad enough, was almost
embarrassed to tell people I paid that much : ) It doesn't seem that
long ago I bought a Motorola for $10.
