I was referring to the majority of their exports. Apple products are hardly cheap, in fact, they are the most expensive smart phone and discounting specific gaming PCs they are likely also the most expensive computer and I think their tablets PCs are also likely the most expensive on the market. They have quite the fad following, I don't bother with fads, nor do I spend more than I think something is worth so that explains why I don't have ANY of the latest Apple products. In fact, the only Apple products I own are an iPod given to me as a gift by a friend and a computer and a couple OSes I bought and used to familiarize myself with macOS to help me trouble shoot issues with one of my parents mistakes. Less than $100 and I was able to save my parents from ever having to send their mistake into the shop to have it repaired.

I am not a fan of Apple products, I consider them to be over priced. I did however enjoy a few aspects of macOS but then it is basically based on Unix like Linux is as well and their sound scheme is somewhat novel, better than Windows' sound scheme. The unit and the OSes I bought were somewhat snappy at starting up, shutting down and navigating the internet with a fresh install, the machine slowed down over time even with clearing cookies and internet related files and only one additional game installed on the machine, Diablo, the Original Diablo with no expansion pack.

The G3 with a 300 MHz proc and 768 megs of ram was running OS9.????? and the original Diablo was a small install and didn't require many resources yet the entire machine slowed down greatly over time with no OS updates being installed, unless the machine was doing it without my knowledge. I had a very old IBM upgraded to a 200 MHz proc and running 512 megs of ram that out performed that G3 while running windows 98 SE.

The Power Mac G3 was manufactured from November 1997 to August 1999, macOS 9 was Introduced on October 23, 1999, the G3 was fully capable of running macOS 9 and several sources recommended 9 for a G3. The IBM I had was manufactured in I think it was Sept. of 1995 and interestingly enough, came preinstalled with Windows 95 and when it was built, it had a 133MHz proc and 32 megs of ram, I personally upgraded it to a 200 MHz proc, 512 megs of ram and Windows 98 SE. It had a smaller proc, was older, had less ram and it still out performed a newer computer with 1.5 times the proc speed, 1.5 times the ram and a comparable OS. That is quite telling. Perhaps things have changed at Apple but...

Of course neither of those units were my primary or even secondary computer, they were for kids to play on as I wouldn't care if they got destroyed. I have no faith in Apple and do not think their name is worth the extra money and limited usability to bother with Apple products. My old smart phone took far better pictures than much newer iPhones, my new smart phone, I don't know yet how it's pictures compare with iPhone pictures but...

Our trade deficit on 2018 was $891 billion. On March 2019, our import was $3.1 trillion versus our export to $2.5 trillion. A trade US deficit of $600 billion.

The left/democrats don't understand, and are happy buying cheap products of lowest quality that China dumps to the US. If this is not corrected, few years from now, China will bypass US economically. China will also surpass our national powers. They are clever, and have been thieving on our Intellectual Properties too.

If this trade imbalance continues, our economy is weakened, unemployment goes up. If we produce and export lesser, our manufacturing and production will slow down. Employment will also reduce. , Unemployed people becomes more dependent to the government. US taxpayers are reduced, thus a reduction of US revenue and increase of expenditures. We will fail, and China will bypass the US.

Trade deficit is now very serious. It needs correction ASAP. President Trump has taken unprecedented steps to fix it. But the people from the left don't understand and are attacking him. They complain that US consumers will pay more for our China imports. due to the Tariff. One of the reasons for Tariff is reduction of our imports, to balance our trade deficits. At the same time, the tariffs impost go to the US Treasury.

There are other negative factors affected on this Tariff. But at the end, the benefits surpass the negatives. It is the only way to solve this, otherwise, very soon, our country is at risk dominated by China.

We must correct this trade imbalance ASAP. Before it is too late. China dumps cheap products to us, with very cheap quality. They could afford that due to their cheap child labor. And the democrats like paying cheap, but the products they get are also of cheap quality.

US produces good quality, done by our well paid labor, though we pay a little higher price, but we get better quality. Besides, we are helping our own country, not China.

Yeah, it is only the left buying the cheap crap from China... Think again, I have seen leftists, centrists AND righties buying the cheap crap from China, it ISN'T just the lefties. There are some things that you don't have many alternatives other than buying from Asian countries, try finding ANY cell phones completely made in America from wholly American made components. It can't be done, I have tried. But much of the items people buy so readily from China and other Asian countries can be found made in America at equal quality and quite often much better quality, namely hand and power tools. People need to start reading labels, EVERYONE, lefties, centrists AND righties.

You are right there. I have difficulty buying my needs because I really don't like buying Chinese items and those made in foreign countries. That is why most of my previous clothes were made in the US, but it's that style that don't go out dated. Lucky I maintain my weight, so my clothes still fit me. I like buying items made in the US though it cost more.

We call the Republicans RIGHTISTS. I like being the rightist. You know why? . In the Bible, to be at the right side "is to be identified as being in the special place of honor". right" can mean that which is correct (Genesis 24:48; Mark 5:15), the side of a person (Genesis 48:13; Psalm 16:8), authority (Psalm 50:16; John 1:12), that which is proper (Matthew 20:4), etc.

The LEFTIES wants to go to Walmart. We call the democrats LEFTISTS.
(Ezekiel 39:3). The left hand is the side from which bad omens come, and therefore less lucky and less honored than the right hand.

It's more complex than "right-left".

It's more complex than "who is in the Presidency".

Expand your vision and you'll see the pattern much more clearly.

I understand that. Fact of the matter is I am only talking about a tiny part of the subject matter.
And to explain the whole part of it, I need to write a book to cover all.

Good luck!
