Bad Apple

Bad Apple
OK, so a lot of you folks are probably going to read the following article and think, "Good Apple".  Apple is one of the most out of control international corporations on the planet. They aggressively dodge taxes. They aggressively exploit workers who have no rights in nations that have no meaningful environmental regulation. Apple has thanked Trump for his tax cuts (even though Apple was dodging pretty much all taxes), and has promised to pump $350 billion of repatriated money into the US economy under the lower tax rate as a reward for the tax cut. The following article is about Apple's role as a self serving influencer of both US and Chinese foreign policies.
