Apple to Expand Presence in Ireland and North Carolina

[Zapdoc]

Why do they dislike the Irish so much? They have stores literally everywhere! You don't get a single Apple store on the whole d*mn island?!!

Actually there is a large `apple store in Belfast Northern Ireland

Greed is good, eh? Apple has so much money it doesn't know what to do with it. It's tax dodging just because it can.

They don't hoard that money. It's being paid out directly and indirectly to shareholders for the last 10 years.

Illinois is about exactly twice the size and population of Ireland and we have 10 stores. Seems like Ireland should have 4 or 5!

In what sweatshop was that picture taken?

That's not a sweatshop! Look at those professionals hard at work! Why they have complete privacy in a nice, quiet environment, and are not being observed...oh! OK yeah it's a sweatshop. Thanks Herman Miller!

Clearly you don't know what Apple's cash reserves are so why are you talking to me?

Sod the testing centre, give us a goddamn apple store. It’s ridiculous that the EU headquarters is in Ireland and we don’t have a single store.

Damn straight! How could anyone get any actual work done in that office.

I've got an idea Apple. How about setting up a software testing centre. You can have that idea for free, Apple.

Name one company that isn’t looking for a tax break. Tax laws are set up and if a company follows those laws to profit where is the unethical issue?

Not supporting the country that founded their success comes to mind.

I feel sorry for the people of North Carolina... Property will be hard to come by

I know some people who will be interested in this news!

Looks like Apple has something to benefit by expanding in Ireland.
