Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

My sister's fiance thought just because an iPhone (for instance) was designed in the states that it wouldn't be subject to tariffs, despite being made in China and using foreign parts.
Lack of education is the best way to control people.
Also messianic prophecies, but agree education is number 1
need people dumb to have the lack of critical thinking skills for the messianic bullshit to take root in.
In the end there will be all sorts of carveouts for whatever company kisses Trump's ass the most. Apple products will be on that list almost assuredly.
This is a bad thing because it'll be yet another thing for people to point to and say "See! The tarrifs aren't so bad."
To be fair, an iPhone could be manufactured entirely in the US it would just cost 4x as much. Maybe 10x, actually.
CPU manufacturing would be the hardest to bring online. The second most difficult one would be screens (though we may not have tariffs with South Korea 🤷).
In the US there's already plenty of PCB manufacturing, CNC machining (case), ultra hard glass (screen) manufacturing, and it's relatively easy to ramp up capacitor and resistor manufacturing. Things like USB C connectors would need some company to step up though.
Only TSMC can produce the SoC which is a huge problem. An US produced iPhone would be something quite different no matter the price.
It would be a TI-83 calculator with a built in walkie talkie. 2.7 ghz.
Throw a map application on there and I'd be interested.
Wish granted. You must purchase and carry an external satellite receiver and upgrade the internal battery with an also external lead-acid battery with fan-cooled inverter. 🪄
Things like charge controllers need to be made too, and nobody makes those domestically. Same with simple chips like 555 timers. Nowhere in the US are these made.
