• Apple says the new tax law will help it will contribute $350 billion to the U.S. economy over the next five years.
  
  
• It says it will create 20,000 new jobs and open a new campus.
  
  
• Apple expects to pay about $38 billion in taxes for the horde of cash it plans to bring back to the United States.
  

Bullshit. Apple is paying zero tax now, and the under the new laws it will continue to pay zero tax.

Until politicians wake up and realise that those running companies like Apple give not a single shit for either the countries they operate in nor the long term viability of their company (if Apple execs cared about the company they'd be ploughing the $1/4tn cash mountain the company is sitting on into some actual R&D instead of hoping for the government to do it and sell them the results at knock down prices), capitalism will continue to have it's baleful and destructive stranglehold on humanity's well being.

Wanna bet who they needed to fuck over or more how many they needed to fuck over  to make this deal work. Can't wait to hear about the apple layoffs . Already one thing that stands out is over the next 5 years . A lot can change in 5 years So Beta boasting about a plan which may be canceled by next year  . And of course the fact this rewards companies who have pushed the majority of their assets overseas. So much for America first .

I find it hilarious how desperate Beta is to try and dig through the mountain of shit. To try and find a sliver of something other then shit . But only finding harden shit . 

Trump has achieved nothing and trying to cherry pick does not make him any less a failure .

Apple doesn't need lay offs. When it needs to get rid of staff the bosses in China send the working stiffs up onto the roof, and retract the nets.
