iJunk Man: Famous big liar for Friday
Tim Cook and Apple appear to occasionally worry the reputation of the company has taken a hit. For all the sweat shop labor in China, legal global tax cheating and general arrogance.
So now DD sees company officials occasionally muttering about how they want to make it all up. They’ll look into labor abuse. We legally tax cheat because everyone else does it. And so on.
Today, it’s Tim Cook telling a gullible audience he’d like to make some iJunk completely in the US. Someday. But not today.
“The truth is the tool and die-maker skill in the U.S. began to go down in the late ’60s and early ’70s,??? Cook said. “How many tool-and-die makers do you know in the U.S. now? I could call a meeting and invite every tool-and-die maker in the United States and we wouldn’t fill this room.???
Not so in China, though. Said Cook, “In China you could fill a city with tool-and-die makers.???
Tim Cook was 10 in 1970.
So precocious, he knew the score then. Unskilled Americans, already going to shite.
It was all in China, just waiting to be tapped. We had nothin’ to do with sending it there. Nothin,’ I tell ya!

He sounds like a 10 year old – liar – who knows he’s lying and knows he can get away with it because he has ‘bigshot’ attached to his name. Of course, I could be wrong.

Wasn’t the first production plant for the Macintosh located in Fremont?
I seem to recall that Mr. Jobs was very proud of it. That was the 80s–according to Mr. Cook, we all must have been slobbering idiots by then.
