Agree with the math, but since the amount is so “small” then one could also argue it’s fine to just not give Apple incentives. Corporate welfare is always controversial, but now that we’re talking about a company at the very top of the K-shaped recovery, perhaps it’s worth pushing the discussion. I wonder if there’s an opportunity to make incentives performance-based, in the same vein as how Apple executive comp is. For example the incentives could be tied to local business revenues and property taxes. I’m sure there are a lot of ways to game any such metrics, but for a company like Apple that really does not need cash benefits, perhaps there’s some other mechanism to ensure local economic contribution.
