Same point I made, businesses know that people are saving money and could buy stuff, at least the folks that are working. They can stay in the safe zone where they are or take a chance and ramp up with new items or more supply. Apple can take the risk because they have the capital, the cheap labor and the loyal followers. Other companies can do it too but without the extra capital they need to risk too much. In other words if health care and new regulations cost need the money that was just invested you risk losing everything. > BMW is doing great. Audi is looking to build plants in the US.
