In a foreign country, you have to follow their laws, just as foreign businesses must do in the US.

I generally agree with this. But I dont think apple is saying they will break the law, but rather that they'd just wIthdraw from the market if forced, which has been their approach in the past.

Plus, while india is a big market, apples 10% of it probably isnt a huge segment of apples revenue, and they have the warchest to just sit it out until Gen Zs flip out hard enough to force the govt to back off.

Having spent seven years of my youth in France, can I submit evidence that I was not prohibited, as a pre-pubescent kid, from buying alcohol (running errands for my Mom when my parents were throwing parties) in stores, nor did France have the same youth binge drinking problems common in the US with their prohibitionary policies on kids buying alcohol?

How come inflation fell from 3.8% in 2008 despite all the 2008 and beyond money-printing, not reaching that level until 2021?

How come Janet Yellen in 2017 said her biggest failure was getting inflation up to 2%?

"At her final news conference as Fed chair Wednesday, Yellen said the Fedâ(TM)s failure to bring inflation up to the central bankâ(TM)s 2 percent mandate is her single disappointment.

âoeWe have a 2 percent symmetric inflation objective. For a number of years now, inflation has been running under 2 percent, and I consider it an important priority to make sure that inflation doesnâ(TM)t chronically undershoot our 2 percent objective,â she said."
