How Tim Cook Won Donald Trump's Ear
https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-tim-cook-won-donald-trumps-ear-11570248040
When Mr. Trump began working toward a planned tax cut in 2017, Mr. Cook told the president that Apple would invest more in the U.S. if it could bring its $250 billion in overseas cash back to the U.S. at a lower tax rate, one of the former administration officials said. Mr. Trump later cited Mr. Cook and Apple as he promoted a tax overhaul, this person added.
In early 2018, less than a month after the tax bill was signed, Apple announced it would contribute $350 billion to the U.S. economy over five years—a figure that included spending on parts and services, capital spending and tax payments. Even though that was consistent with Apple’s previous spending levels in the U.S., Mr. Cook went on ABC News to tout the commitment, as well as Apple’s promise to develop a new Apple campus, which it later awarded to Austin, Texas.
“The reason I speak to Tim Cook: He’s the one that calls me,” Mr. Trump said in August.

Hondo won’t read it

That's great for Apple and its stock holders. If you notice the article says that Apple's capital expenditures aren't going to change because of this. They now won't be have to issue debt to fund their domestic capital expenditure program such as the new campus. That campus was going to happen regardless of the tax break.

Yes Apple is investing in America, as they have since inception. I'm not sure that they actually brought jobs back. But other than that, cool story bro.
How much cash does Apple have now? I'd bet it's more than before the tax cuts. It's not like the tax cuts spurred them to invest any different than they would have. -

I didn't read the WSJ article but did it contradict itself somewhere? BTW, Apple's 2019 capex is expected to be less than 2018.

HondoBros want the economy to tank. Simple fact -
The best part is they aren't building the new campus in Kali.
El Monte why is that? How could that possibly be? Why would they? How could they?

Yes I know what the article said. And yes I know what Tim cook says. Just like everyone who said they'd close businesses because of Obamacare. Or that would move work to America from China if the tax cut went through yet didn't. Business owners say what they want to get what they want. Doesn't mean they'll actually do it. Or that it effected anything.pawz said:
