Lithium Price Plunge - No One Buying EVs

[Mike Ault]

I don't walk barefoot. Got my Birkenstocks.
My wife called me a cheapskate by not turning on the heater higher. She blamed me for her cold blisters on her feet.
And by the way, I loved Baywatch.

So, are you one of those morally bereft individuals who follows around behind your woman and readjusts the thermostat while she's not looking?

So far, I am pleased with the 2022 Ford Escape I have. But my favorite vehicle to drive is still my 2000 Chevy C20. Plain and simple, no frills, no air bag, and few problems in 24 years.

Stop making excuses. Foreign countries have lower labor costs than in America.

Stop pretending anyone can compete with zero labor costs. Your precious little iPhone is made by prisoners, and you pay a premium for a phone no better than any other phone that costs half that and is made in Korea or Japan.

Stop with excuses of zero labor costs. That day will come with robotics.
Apple isn't just about hardware but the ease of use and their software integration with ipads and Macs. Apple continues to innovate which many companies should do.

And Apple outsourced as much of their production to China as humanly possible. American ideas & American capital making one of our greatest foreign adversaries stronger. When robots are producing everything, do you think you're going to be collecting rent from them? You do realize that the jobless are going to socialize your rentals if they need to, don't you? They're not going to be huddled beneath your dimly lit porches for very long. Far fewer of the haves, than the have-nots. Most wealthy individuals realize this, and at least pay "lip service" to the concerns of the poor, lest the above scenario come to pass immediately.

Apple outsourced to cheap labor countries. It's stated on their products. Made in China Design in America.
If not for cheap labor, iPhones would be even more expensive than $1,000. Apple must be doing something right since many upgrade their phones every year.

Apple put Chinese communists in charge of American labor relations. Do you honestly think that was what was best for America?

Apple iphone, Ralph Lauren, and Birkenstocks.

I can see an iPhone going with Ralph Lauren Clothing as well as someone with Birkenstocks. It's the pairing of Birkenstocks and Ralph Lauren that I'm having issues with.

Not many countries can mass produce with the manufacturing capabilities like China.
It has been a win win for Apple (and their shareholders).
All products I bought from Apple had been top notch quality and no defects. Very few companies can give such great products and service.
