does not matter what they cost, because if we embargo China and do not have them, then we need to make them, which sounds good at first thought. However before retooling and building entirely new factories the companies that need these parts now would go out of business, crippling the US economy.Tell us what they cost so we can be smrt.Retooling would take years if not a decade, and it would cost trillions of dollars too. Are you aware what a chip making machine cost? or of a store that sells them?Retooling would take years...what fantasy world are you living in?Every electronic devise that you own has parts made in China, so the list is effectively everything. When Cook talks about the iPhone he is speaking of assembly in the US or China, there are still parts that are only made in China. To retool US factories would take years, long before then the US economy would be toast.What would cost 20 times more to make in the U.S.?
Even Tim Cook said an iPhone made in the US would add about 1/6th the price at most.
Kid you have no clue
Or does Trump have to do what you say because you are in charge
So the price is 100 percent of defunct companies.
No, we don't. The issue with electronics, particularly microchips is the environmental impact. It was the EPA, not labor costs that drove this critical product out of America. Mexico has a massive work force and is close to the USA, cutting the transportation costs to a small fraction of what Asian concerns cost. This is already happening, and fast.
