>>I read recently that Apple has over a million employees in China.
>>That's obscene.

You've allowed your politics to mimic "The Zax" by Dr Seuss. It's obscene to notice a million employees in the nation's main competitor if it involves glancing to one side.

Then the North-Going Zax puffed his chest up with pride.
"I never," he said, "take a step to one side.
And I'll prove to you that I won't change my ways
If I have to keep standing here fifty-nine days!"

"And I'll prove to YOU," yelled the South-Going Zax,
"That I can stand here in the prairie of Prax
For fifty-nine years! For I live by a rule
That I learned as a boy back in South-Going School.
Never budge! That's my rule. Never budge in the least!
Not an inch to the west! Not an inch to the east!
I'll stay here, not budging! I can and I will
If it makes you and me and the whole world stand still!"

Well...
Of course the world didn't stand still. The world grew.
In a couple of years, the Trump highway came through
And they built it right over those two stubborn Zax
And left them there, standing un-budge in their tracks.


Somebody needs to tell the DNC that Trump's peccadilloes are trumped not just by the strong economy that historically delivers 100% POTUS re-election but also by his willingness to change direction with maverick clear messages, insistence on poking wasps' nests with a stick rather than putting a curtain in front of it and immunity to cashed-up lobbyists. You need somebody who can out-Trump Trump without the personalization baggage. The problem for current DNC frontrunners is the clear message "you've been part of the swamp for 50 years and NOW you're going to make things better? Uh huh."
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
