Apple has a 21% global smartphone market share. If the US has an unhealthy dependency on a single smartphone manufacturer, then perhaps something should be done about that?

If Apple truly has become a critical part of the nation's infrastructure and is "too big to fail", then why hasn't it been nationalized yet? The nation's safety depends on it!
