Mind you, if I was the CEO of Apple, I would IMMEDIATELY close all locations in the EU, and release all employees.
And then tell the EU to come and take it, if they can. . .
You are overreacting. There are YEARS you court cases and appeals before anything actually gets paid.
Oh, Apple has to put the money in escrow, but since they are sitting on ~$214 Billion in cash, this is not a big deal. In the US, money in escrow can be in an interest-bearing account and I expect the same is true in the EU.
This decision did now come out of nowhere. It has been in the news for months. AAPL is down slightly today, which is a buying opportunity.
Warren Buffet just added about 5 Million shares of AAPL to his holdings. Anyone who thinks he is more financially astute than Warren please stand up.
The global CEO’s are liberals and hate American-Americans and our constitutional republic. I hope these open border, social engineering, globalist snobs suffer big time. They sure have hurt us with their globalist ideology and money for a long time now.
