First Trump warned the tech industry they should move their production to US or friendly nations with fair labor practices and that weren't stealing our technology. The tech industry whined and did nothing. Trump lowered tax rates as an in incentive for the tech companies to move their production back to the US. The tech industry shrugged it off and did nothing. Then Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese goods. The tech industry whined and did nothing. Trump announce that the Defense Dept was reviewing the sourcing of goods and would stop purchasing goods produced in China to ensure sourcing if hostilities broke out with China. The tech industry whined and did nothing. Trump banned some sales of US tech to Huawei and purchases from them. The tech industry whined and did nothing. I'll be generous and just say that poor Chinese hygiene and inferior medical care resulted in the Coronavirus and Chinese factory closings. 1. Will the tech industry response again be to just whine and do nothing? Or will they finally come to their senses and move their production from China?
2. Just how thick headed are the CEOs of the tech companies?
All it takes is a search and you will see Trump is a do as i say not as i do person.
- Yes, they will whine, blame the president and raise prices. Lefties are incapable of learning from their mistakes as present day failures and history clearly reveals. Besides, it's too easy to blame someone else and pad your wallet all the while.
- Since human being are not supposed to be able to live and function without a brain, there is no real answer here.

Even if these companies wanted to move production back to the US do you really believe this could be done in 3.5 years? Apple, Microsoft, etc dont manufacture their own products; they hire companies specializing in production to do that for them. They would need to find companies willing to produce the products in the US which would require huge investments in new factories and supply chains because we simply don't have the infrastructure required. This would be a massive undertaking and really isn't feasible while keeping the prices of products at their current level. The massive failure of the promised Foxconn factory is Wisconsin is a good case study of how well this would go.
