    Good. I hope other customers around the world move some of their purchases to companies who are boycotting the US so that those companies continue to do well.

    I am curious to see if Dell and HP will make any statements on this issue; with them being based in the US.

      I expect no hesitation from both companies to double their price and tell their customers to deal with it.

        This will happen. The market in the us will become a monopoly of sorts in which a single company has the only available product of a kind and will sell it at unreasonable prices because it’s either theirs or no product at all.

        I wouldn’t go as far as a 100% increase in price, but they will definitely pass on the cost.

        I am just curious about their PR tactics as they are based in the US. Will they simply not say anything (while not replying to journalists’ emails on this topic) and raise prices? Or will they try and come up with some PR copytext?

    Imagine if the iPhone is made in the US, it would be $6K or more. 🤦

      I’m sure they would just change the law to allow children to work so that the price could be lowered.

      Well if that’s what it takes to have fair wages.

      But they don’t have the brains and manpower for iPhone production, because it was always made in asia.
