It was mostly a joke.  Between PC playing third party, Sony, MS, emulation and free online...  I just think it is the way to go.  

and I will happily pay more to ensure people have jobs, but maybe that is just me.  

People say that shit all the time and generally they are full of shit.

Once the novelty wears off (which will be fast), you'll be left with a lot of complaining. There are plenty of industries that are largely American run still, you can go to one likely right now in 2-10 minutes to support them if you wish. Restaurants are basically American workers (wait staff, cooks, etc.) and even a lot of the food supply (even for a company like McDonalds) is from the US. 

Go ahead. Even places like Dennys and iHop that were affordable 10-15 years ago for a lot of people is becoming more and more expensive, ain't no one sitting there going "well that was $25 for breakfast per person, but it sure was nice paying the salary of an American worker!" ... lol. Less and less people are eating out though, don't see any patriotic surge to go out there and help those home grown American workers. You can even tip them a nice 15-20%, but most people also complain about that. You're welcome to go to bars/pubs and pay $8+ a drink too. 

There isn't an employment problem in America to begin with. Unemployment was low under Joe Biden. It's a wage problem, people want higher wages and higher quality jobs, but that means more expensive goods. And hate to break it to people but working in a fucking factory 12 hours a day making shoes or even iPhones sucks ass. A lot of Americans don't want  those jobs any more than they don't want to pick fruit outside 12 hours a day in the blazing sun. Immigrants will do that job because it's above the salary they would get in their country, people in Asia will work for $2-$4 hour with 16 hour shifts and no medical/dental, but Americans don't want to work even minimum wage for soul crushing work. 

Making iPhones (or Playstations) is dull, repetitive work that requires long hours stuck indoors, in Foxconn factories in China at one point the conditions were so bad that they had a problem with employee suicides.  These are not glamour jobs. 

It won't off for me.  People need jobs.  Someone being unemployed carries more weight than having to save an extra few months for console.  

People matter, that simple. 

Also more job options means competition, which means higher wages.  Easy to low ball people when their opportunities are limited.

At the end of the day, you and many others, are scoffing at over a trillion in investment.  And no, companies cannot lie about Ops plans.  That is a SEC violation.  Full stop.
