    Umm, isn't that what the constitution says? States rights>Federal rights? i.e. the states should determine what they do and do not want to do? That's not how it works in practice today, but that's a whole separate discussion.

    That's revenue (total sales), not income (profits).

    MSFT made $23B last year. Which is $10B more than AAPL made last quarter.

    The real question would be why can't they do it in time if plants are in America?

    It's not like it takes that long to ship product back and forth. They might need 48-60 hours instead of 24.

    Unions? Equipment? Management? Policy? Attitudes?

    Pretty sure that you missed the main point of the article - there is no more "large-scale US labor" for technical products.

    Whoa, it's not like Walmart isn't one of the biggest retailers in the US. They have voted with their wallets. Most people buy crap. The problem is that most people buy more crap than they can afford.

    People who have those jobs (and I know because I've been there) have to lump themselves together with relatives or friends and edge a meager existence.

    This is one of the big differences between East and West.

    We in the West see this a s a negative - can't live on my own.
    Those in the East see this as living - part of being a family, helping younger & older generations. With the bonus of a cheaper cost of living per person.

    I've been to Charleston. Those are their top people working on it. Top people.

    Plus, that's part of the lower cost of labor which is why Boeing moved there. Gotta take the good with the bad.

    Also, according to wikipedia, the states are under the federal requirements of eminent domain (5th amendment) because of the due process from the 14th amendment.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminent_domain#Constitution

    " the court held that the eminent domain provisions of the Fifth Amendment were incorporated in the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and thus were now binding on the states, or in other words, the states are required to take property for a public purpose and compensate the property owner for his loss."
