Yeah, for me (who hates Apple), this didn't reflect poorly on them really. It reflected poorly on our system, where open bribes are applauded instead of punished, and where our leader can be purchased so easily. Apple just made a smart play. It isn't their fault this was the smart thing to do.
Oh my, the shit ~~Americans~~ people say. Reminded me of this.
This shit happens everywhere, and that quote is a perfect example. The system is fucked. It's a matter of fact that Trump is better off because he didn't pay taxes. There were no penalties, because that's the system they designed. There's plenty to hate him for, and for being a part of creating that system and incentives, but you would be dumb to not abuse it.
This same thing happens literally everywhere. If there's something to take advantage of, someone is doing it. Those holes just need to be patched. If you think there's somewhere that doesn't have these issues, I'd love to know where.
