- pmiller2 14y agoThese things from the guidelines: Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Please avoid introducing classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them. Also, the title is overly link-bait-y, and there's the thing about yes/no questions in headlines almost always being best answered with "No." Overall, I just don't think it's a great submission.

If Apple was going to pay through the nose for menial labor, then why would they do it in Asia instead of the USA?
