Cute but you forget that countries and municipalities are in competition with each other over attracting business, trillion dollar companies should make good on these threats more often because then they get to come back later for pennies on the dollar
- tomxor 5y ago> countries and municipalities are in competition with each other over attracting business What's the point in attracting a business that doesn't pay any tax... further, I (and many others) would argue Apple has a far less positive impact on it's users than it used to, it has turned into more of a money extracting machine and vehicle for consumption. In other words, if not having a quasi-monopoly operate in your country is a net positive for society, then who cares if they threaten to leave.
- bilbo0s 5y agoThen let Apple leave the UK. The UK should be better off. Both sides are happy.
- vmception 5y agoJobs? Whether from the company directly or third parties Such as the market for accessories creation and trading All helps GDP and the local economy
- esperent 5y agoJob creation is not a good enough reason to let a mega corporation threaten the rule of law in your country.
- vmception 5y agoI agree and the immediately following politician will run on a jobs platform and invite the corporation back I like being on the corporate side of the game right now
