Ever heard of a little known design shop called Nvidia that outsources production to other companies?

Let's go down the list of the biggest companies in the world

Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Broadcom, Meta

They don't manufacture anything, not even Amazon. They outsource Amazon basics to other companies in China.

The biggest companies in the world don't actually produce anything themselves, you have to go down to TSMC and oil companies to get to actual tangible items
