Apple like many companies, only wants to build products in the U.S. if they get lots of state government concessions which the citizens of the state end up paying for. It doesn't matter if it's Rotten Apple, Dull, InHell or any other big company that can easily use Chinese slaveshops as leverage with tax authorities/government and get boatloads of cash thrown at them. It's a disgrace and something that all tax payers in that state end up paying for, for many years, often decades. These unscrupulous companies don't put that in their Press Releases or their use of Chines slaveshops...They just tell you how many minimum wage jobs they will create.

So how is it that the costs of the new iMacs which will now be built in the States now cost so much more due to labour costs here that are much greater than overseas? Manufacturing over there is a fraction that it is here so building it here will it not cost them considerably more to make the product? Just saying..
