Earlier quoted context omitted.

One of the many reasons. The biggest reason the last place I worked at that did manufacturing was that there were import tariffs on components but not assemblies so they just built the assemblies in China.

Wow: Import tariffs on components and not on assemblies sounds like corruption to me. No policy maker can be this incompetent

The author of this has been on a crusade against Apple for years, stemming from an incident that was probably hypochondria. They've outright lied about multiple incidents (see https://twitter.com/shantinix/status/1433297575914971136 ), and I would very strongly doubt any new claims made.

I find it surprising that apparently she's suing Apple not only for dumping toxic chemicals into the air directly next to her apartment, but also for an unrelated case of Apple's security videotaping the women's toilet rooms.

That chemical court case seems very strong to me, with multiple indipendent parties having measured the gas in the air. (Edit: and multiple government agencies reporting chemical accidents at Apple) So it doesn't seem like she's trigger happy to sue, which would imply that there might also be merit in her other case.

Good thing Apple never had "don't be evil" as their slogan ;)

I'm not in the US. There are other countries with this problem :)

Your slander doesn't mesh with the EPA report.

My "slander" is a quote from the author.

I recognized her name when this story dropped. She’s been on an Apple vendetta for some time.
