They just need to build multiple American factories for 20 million a piece, replace the slave wages of 2 dollars an hour for mind numbing monotonous work that saps the will and hope of the workforce, and do it all in less than two months and you won’t feel a thing!!!

20 million for a factory producing iPhones? No way. Add a zero or two.

And that’s going to be a very shitty factory because someone probably fired the health and safety departments so it keeps blowing up.

No more health and safety regulations is exactly how you get 20 million dollar factories! Its all part of the plan baby

Tata recently spent $835 million USD on expanding capacity at a current plant in India; iPhone production, to be specific.

You could throw 20 billion at it and you still wouldn't have it in 2 months.

These processes and especially the foundries behind them take decades to set up.
