California is a sorry excuse for a state

You saying Apple is lying about investing $350 Billion? You have access to things the rest of us don't?

As the Verge noted, subtract the $38 billion tax payment and Apple has only laid out plans for around $37 billion in anything that could be called a new investment:

According to Apple’s press release, just $75 billion of that total number will come from capital expenditures, new investments in manufacturing, and its repatriation tax payment, which could imply that the rest of the number is simply the effects of a company as large as Apple having its regular impact on the US economy through its normal growth and spending.

And $75 Billion, plus $50 Billion from Exxon, plus who knows how much from other companies down the road, doesn't amount to anything? Why don't we just get rid of companies, let the government run everything, give everyone equal pay? That's always worked elsewhere.

You have a bad habit of using common core math. Only an idiot cuts taxes on a booming economy.

The tax cuts are a major reason for the boom.

Fiction.
The opposite actually.
It's too soon for you to rewrite that history Jane.

Even within the context of a socialistic society, given your track record, I suspect that you would somehow find a way to have less than everyone else. The benefit, of course, would be that you wouldn’t have to rely on a chain restaurant’s internet connection to let the world know how INCREDIBLY intelligent you are, and how INCREDIBLY hard working you are.

Hadn't realized I was telling people how incredibly intelligent I am so I'll take that as a compliment from you! But as usual, instead of actually discussing something you look for a way to attack someone personally. Is that what passes for discussion in your generation these days?

Hey Mr.RedX, is it true that your generation doesn't know how to discuss things these days? Just attack all the time, no substance?

Point out the substance in your post attacking my generation then get back to me.
Lulz.

It gives you something to do, if nothing else.

Got the "nothing else" part down pat.

Not an attack, an observation. It's pretty much all you do.

You must be bored.
Maybe you can budget for a typewriter next month and spin your fiction into a book.

Only if you'd buy it. It's your biography after all.

Poor Van, you’re just not very self aware, are you? If I didn’t post here, you would probably have to create an alter ego account to satiate your need for victimhood.

I didn't realize until now that you're a shill for the company. Whazza matter? Really gets under your skin that I'm actually out doing what I've always wanted to do? What victimhood, I'm seeing the world!
