Re: Made in the USA Printed Circuit Board

Nobody wants to work in a manufacturing plant for $15 an hour. We had fruit dying on the trees here because they couldn't find anyone to pick it at $15-20 per hour.

When I started at Microsoft it was the same year UPS went on strike. Their drivers were already making more than me. At Microsoft! In the 90s! Including stock options!

So pick up that Chinese iPhone and order a Chinese PCB for your truck. It'll get delivered by UPS in a British truck. The only part of the process that will be American is the driver, because they can't outsource that yet.
