Liberals' heads are going to explode over this, but this was predictable, and Apple won't be the last company to make this type of announcement. MAGA!!!

Nasty Pelosi said it’s crumbs................

We want Apple and Amazon in Alabama. Please come here, we will treat you right.

I don’t understand the numbers. Is my math way off? If you hired a million people, and spent $350,000 for each one of them, you would go through $350B.

Hiring “only” 20,000? How much are they being paid?

Apple is building a second campus and adding 20,000 more employees due to the new Tax cuts. . . MAGA! — PING!

Start up the H1-b presses!

Jut kidding, it’s good news. But let’s see what happens. Promises are cheap.

All good. How about cutting iPhone prices in half?

[hardspunned]

Is Apple going to put its money where its politics are? Will they build this new facility in some high tax coastal sh!thole city?

20,000 jobs is a lot of crumbs.

The pledge announced Wednesday comes less than a month after Congress approved a sweeping overhaul of the U.S. tax code championed by President Donald Trump that will increase corporate profits.

Profits...so companies making 9-11% in profits, is to liberals, greed, and what is wrong with America.

But government taking anywhere from 10-37% of what we earn is "just paying our fair share."

Winning!

Amazon wants access to an airport that can flying International routes. They should seriously consider a campus site near the under-used Fort Worth Alliance Airport.

Hopefully they are smart enough to locate outside of California.

[bobcat62]

You’re right.

Bay Area tech companies are not interested in hiring American. H1-Bs for all!

No, you misunderstand. Apple makes money every year by generating revenue. . . they are talking about money flowing into the US economy from Apple's business activity.

This does not just flow from the money paid to employees. . . but also from purchases, retail sales, etc. This money flows through the economy at every level. The more of it that moves through the US economy, the better and more gets syphoned off to the US and state treasuries at every one of those levels as it changes hands.

If they’re smart, they’ll build their new “second campus” in a mid-America area with existing high-technology concentrations. Somewhere in Texas? The Dallas area would be great.

Sword is this going to be another donut - mother ship? Just want to know.

Then the money won't happen. . . Apple would join all the rest of the cellular phone makers in a race to the bottom of the barrel toward bankruptcy. There are only one or two cellular phone makers at most, usually only one, that ever makes a profit in the cellphone industry. One of those has always been Apple, the other is usually Samsung. The rest post losses.

Apple's second largest concentration of employees is already in Austin, Texas. Next is Cork, Ireland.

But, I suspect they will build in California, near their current headquarters.

I have no clue. . . it depends on how well the space ship design works. If they find the efficiency of the ring design is working well, they might build another. If not, they may try another design innovation. Time will tell.
