Still blows my mind that its cheaper to throw these sweatshops up around Asia and train a workforce than it is to simply redesign the iPhone to be easily assembled by an automated assembly line. Car companies automate far large and more complicated assembly processes than a phone.
Labor is still required even with automation. Local viability for cars works out sometimes due to high cost of shipping and numerous trade restrictions.
