Apple get rekt

...

>could
yeah no, nothing's going to happen

Socialism

in other news Brussels has been bombed by what experts believe is a new stealthy surgical strike bomber leaving the vast majority of eu representatives of all cabinets dead.

*Rubs hands*

That's less than a weekends sale when iPhone 7 comes out.

Motherfucking MARGRETHE VESTAGER FUCKKER IKKE RUNDT DIN FUKCING TEDRIKKER!!!!

High time after what the amerigoys did to Deutsche Bank and Volkswagen

this!

lmao they are doing this because they wont exist for much longer.

whoever used apple products to browse Sup Forums should support that
currently using an IPad: the biggest crap ever
I phones: top expensive underdevelloped crap
Mac expensive crap for retards
Apple deserves to die

>EU: you owe us $19 billion for some reason
>Apple: okay come and get it
>Nothing happens
>EU dies

VW did this to themself m8

i beg you pardon, it has perfect camera for me to videotape my gf getting spit roasted by two hung black men

Germany need 6 million more rapeffugees

No bomber actually. Nuked from orbit with no survivors.

Wow that's gonna put a real dent in their $700 billion in revenue

Send your nogs.

yeah now the muribros get a tiny miniscule taste of what we Swiss have to endure all the time being surrounded by the EUSSR

Who do you think is going to have a weightlifting accident?

for some reason I think it will justify a 50 dollar price increase or something on their $600 dollar products.

Applexit when?

GM got off much cheaper
VW would have too if they were an American company

Market cap ≠ revenue

nice source

Nope. Still using my 5s I got it in 2013 still running great for 3 years.

You must try out our feelings having broken free from USSR to find ourselves in it's reincarnation with "bonuses".

They make like 50 billion profit.
Obviously it wont really affect anything but it will still suck for them.

That would you uneducated pleb

...

Financial and Economic Retard detected.

Market Capitalization != Revenue

You're a disgrace to the Land of the brokers and Home of the Jews

Or Apple could pay a couple million in bribes and avoid all this.

I wonder what's going to happen

Protectionism.
EU has always been mad that their tech companies all suck, and can't compete with American and Asian companies.

Hopefully Juncker.

Although I doubt that fat fuck even lifts his fingers much less iron.

Is that the title of your natinal anthem?
Or national motto?

fuck you leaf, i just hopped over the border

>Make $50B in profit
>Owe it to socialists who'll use it to give poorfags and immigrants more gibs

DESU, it doesn't really matter who gets the money at this point. Apple, being the retards they are, are using their cash hoard to do stock buybacks (basically more moneyz to the rich).

hahaha yes please hit that faggot company hard

They can't this retaliationary. Germany is pissed.

or maybe just fucking taxes ?

I thought Oy Vey was their national anthem.

>77
>iPhone 7
What have you done

Lol. Like somebody cares about you. Your country is a joke.

You gotta go back, Paco...

>Jews
>ever paying their due

You fags believe Jews became rich by abiding laws, ingenuity and fair play?

>Britbong
>Calling another country a joke

it's like you forgot what shitthole you call 'home'.

Look at their balance sheet. They've got roughly $50 bil just sitting in the bank right now, along with $165 bil in long term notes. That's more than the Bank of England has in gold.

They're also one of the most financially sound companies in the world right now, they could easily borrow money or sell stock to raise $19bil. This is a drop in the bucket for them.

Moar money for dem denbts.

>abiding laws, ingenuity, and fair play
>implying doing any of that will ever get you anywhere

Rules, laws, morals, and other restrictive shit are for good goyims.

Only way to become the king of the jungle is to disobey, defy the current king.

>by abiding laws, ingenuity and fair play
I think they do 2 out of 3 at any given time.

Don't forget the 21 billion Britain has to pay the EU

You're the pussy version of the USA

EU intend to sue Fiat, Google and McDonalds too.

>Colony trying to speak off
We own you faggots.

>Roughly $50B sitting in bank
>along with $165B in long term notes
>Implying that money hasn't been earmarked or already being used to issue bigger dividends or for stock buybacks

If you have to borrow money or issue more equity just to pay taxes; that is in itself an indictment of a really shitty tax code.

Besides, EU is just gonna use that money to give allahu snackbars moar gibs anyway...

TRADE WAR NOW

stop dumping you inferior shit in our markets

The fact that they have so much money sitting around is a direct result of a really shitty tax code. Most of that cash is in overseas banks, they can't get it back into the US without paying huge taxes on it.

Most major US corporations that can get away with it are reincorporating in Ireland. Happened to my dad's employer, their corporate campus is in the US, but their official HQ is some dumpy house in Dublin.

>Pussy version of USA
>implying we aren't the only nation in history to have defeated them in a war.

We're just itching for an another tussle with the yanks, m8.

Besides, 'Pussy version of USA' means we still have 10 times the balls than you do.

Mania grandiosa.
You must take the pill and sleep, Germany.

name one german smart phone

>Germany manufactures anything other than car parts

> besides cars that need those spare parts a lot

>give 70bil to africans

>send bill of 20bil to APPLE

In finance, taking advantage of the disparities in price of equivalent securities that trade in separate marketplaces (i.e. stock exchanges) is called arbitrage.

Apple is simply applying a similar principle in a different field of work. Tax code differences in the taxation of income generated enables corporations to conduct businesses in all around the world, incorporating their businesses in a tax-advantageous country, all while maintaining real headquarters and R&D facilities in a skill-advantageous part of the world.

It's smart business really. You get the best of all worlds.

Besides, if you think any government has the right to income generated outside of their domains, you're a part of the problem.

>top expensive
When will this meme end? A ton of googledroid phones are more expensive than the iPhone.

Apple sells garbage outside the US?

Sure it will end well.

> There is a mad narrative looming.

>besides cars that operate ONLY using those parts

This is why Nips are superior to the Sausages. At least the cost of repair in a Honda or Toyota won't cost you 2 weeks of pay.

EU technology rulings are the dumbest shit
>muh browser cookies
>"what microsoft includes their browser in their os!? they gotta pay"
>"what google promotes google-stuff on google!? they gotta pay"
>muh Quaero
>"apple keeps their taxes low? We can't have american companies do that, only amazon is allowed to do that"

>give 70bil to Africans
>send bill of 20bil to APPLE

They're not even hiding it anymore.

When's the day of the rope again?

shows how clueless you are when it comes to real world technology and products. Smartphones are a luxury article every third world country can manufacture.

how about tanks, submarines, planes, ships, industrial machinery for all of europe?

we still have a real manufacturing base, americas is just a shell of its former glory.

>too expensive
Dunno bout leafland but in burger most people are too stupid to realize how to get cheap service plans for either smartphone

why are Belgian people so stupid?

oh nice, this'll go towards the next 10 million migrants that flood in

Apple is an American company and gets taxed (heavily) in the US.

Furthermore, all of its worldwide earnings are subject to heavy US taxes, once Apple chooses to repatriate them (it has not yet chosen to do so).

If the EU wants to tax tech companies like the US does, perhaps it should create some of its own - if capable.

I had a German car in my life. Not bad to drive but too much mech. problems. Sold it and bought Toyota.
11 years now, no prob.

What's your problem with my post, all these things have happened?

The Whitehouse was burned down in 1814, you became a country in 1867, so unless you are the first country to have a time machine you didn't win shit.
Also what is Vietnam.

I understand that fully, and I wish US tax code were reformed so that wasn't a necessary strategy. What it's become is a colossal jobs program for international lawyers. It's kind of sick that my dad's company is spending several million a year to keep ten fake employees who work out of a converted living room in Dublin in order to dodge taxes, and probably blew an assload of money on the inversion. That means that something's broken in the system.

>implying it's not an investment secretly

>Obama accuses EU of attacking American tech companies because it 'can't compete'
>From the same man who once said "You didn't build that" to businesses and executives everywhere.

EUSSR is not capable of anything. Relax.

part of the white house was burned down... it didn't even have a fence around it at the time.

>if capable
That's the exact problem.
Their companies can't compete unless foreign companies are taxed at a higher effective rate than their own.

I kinda wanna live in Estonia. Heard Milton Friedman helped build that country. That true?

Not even 10 years later, the browser wars seem so silly and irrelevant now.

Funny how technology outpaces leftist bureaucracy at lighting speeds.

When did GM trick their consumers and government?

...

Apple doesn't give a shit. In fact Tim Cook would gladly fork money over to the EU. Steve Jobs may have been a narcissist who treated his employees like shit and threw the man who co-founded Apple, Steve Wozniak out on his ass, he at least was innovative.

Tim Cook on the other hand, is a faggot globalist who can't be original, so he just keeps copying and pasting whatever Jobs did.

Because Belgians have no pride in their country. Belgians care more about their identity and culture than where they live. It's been like this for a long time

>check ID
>N1gr
okay Denmark

>Apple is an American company

How about an American company making products in the US then.

>and gets taxed (heavily) in the US.

As if they're not just like every other company getting by by paying little through tax loopholes. You realize GE paid no taxes on $18 billion a few years ago.

When they gained independence the prime minister had little economic experience but had read some Friedman and acknowledged that it infulenced him.

EU lunatics thought that imported shitskins help them compete. It will be walk of shame.

Fuck off, we are full.

Agreed.

The problem isn't just internationally.

Guess which state is the go-to for any incorporating business?

Delaware.

Literally a useless state that exists on the fundamental differences in the tax codes of various states.

US Congress is made of lawyers. They pass bills and regulations that force more hiring of lawyers. They retire and take jobs at companies that need their expertise on the very laws they created.

It's almost like they planned it from the beginning.

Will Apple be around forever?

>implying the gooks beat the sharts

No, only us Canucks have the title of having beaten you in a war.

>As if they're not just like every other company getting by by paying little through tax loopholes.

They're not. Apple pays a very high tax rate in the US.
Higher than the average effective corporate tax rate in Scandinavian countries.
They're the single biggest corporate taxpayer in America.

Good for them. The EU deserves none of it.

>EU lunatics thought that imported shitskins help them compete
Lol. They are literally begging their companies to hire them. Even though they don't have any qualifications and can barely speak the language.

Whatever makes you feel better leaf.

>They're the single biggest corporate taxpayer in America

Gonna need the sauce on that.
