Get over yourself, you clearly don't understand what you are asking, therefore you need explanation. You don't want reason, just answer my ignorant question that doesn't apply to what's being discussed. Obviously they file overseas because it's the financially intelligent thing to do. You would do the exact same thing if you could. The system isn't at fault, Apple is at fault for using the system, is that what you are saying?
"Don't they claim to be a mostly Irish company? Where do they file taxes?" I've told you why they file overseas, I'm sorry it doesn't fit the narrative you were trying to create.
Not every question has a yes or no answer, but I'll try. No they do not claim to be an Irish company and they file taxes in every country around the world that they do business in. You want Apple to claim all of their money in the country who wants the most of it and that's not going to happen.

No dude, have you not been reading the training handbook that everyone should read before the apocalypse? There is going to be a mass amount of doors to secure. Zombies can't use tools unless they are hybrid zombies with tool arms but that isn't really "using" tools but more like flailing their arms that just happen to be tools. Potato, pototo.
Also I don't think you would be worried about cutting the grass when there is zombies trying to flail their tool arms at the windows and doors. But, for sake of argument I will assume that you are someone that takes pride in their post apocalyptic yard and would like to mow it. I strongly doubt apple created special lawnmowers that are able to detect small rocks so chances are the glass windows are fairly strong, bringing us back to how many doors there must be. Look at the walking dead, they couldn't even keep a prison secure. We all know what is on tv is real so we must learn from it. Gees, come on dude you gotta think or you aren't gonna survive long when it starts.
Meh. Unless it fixes my bluetooth issues, I'll wait for the Apple Campus 3. 
Apple's spaceship-shaped campus in Cupertino, California is nearing completion, and most of the ring-shaped main structure and auxiliary buildings have been finished.
We've seen monthly drone updates of the location during the construction period, letting us keep an eye on Apple's progress, and now SkyIMD has created a neat high-resolution aerial mosaic that gives an incredibly detailed overall view of the nearly-finished campus.
The image depicts the main spaceship building that is the highlight of the campus, with its massive curved glass windows and huge built-in glass doors that open up into a cafeteria area. The aerial photo, composed of ten 100-megapixel images captured with a PhaseOne iXA-RS1000, was made on December 22.
Duncan Sinfield, who has shared Apple Campus 2 drone videos with MacRumors for several months, has also uploaded an updated video captured on Christmas morning that shows the progress Apple has made on landscaping in recent weeks.
Apple plans to have the campus finished by the beginning of 2017, with employees moving in during the first quarter, but landscaping work will not be finished until the middle of the year.

I believe everyone knows that. So why not put those teams into separate buildings? Maybe because those teams actually have to mix, because they can't make good products if they work in separate sealed-off worlds.
So, two items. First, Steve Jobs said that he liked this plan because it forced employees to mix outside of their departments. He felt that random meetings promoted creativity. A lot of high tech companies in particular subscribe to this theory, so I assume it has merit.
Second, Steve was an avid walker. Talking while walking was a big part of his own creative process. So this building requires walking. A lot of walking. Deliberately. What this ends up being is the imposition of Steve's personal methods on thousands of Apple employees.
Making this building reflect one's person's ideas about human behavior is where I think they got it wrong. Architecture can influence behavior, but if you try to use it as a social engineering experiment, it generally fails. Even the best and most experienced architects are not social scientists. Steve Jobs was neither.
We will soon have an idea how this building works in the real world. I can foresee some problems.
This is 100% Jobs so don't know WTH your even talking about. This was his baby.
I met an engineer that is working on the AC2 and he said the project is 2 years behind schedule
plus my wife works for Apple her move date is pushed back to late 2018

Well for sure Mac Pro Hardware dept is not doing much mingling at the moment...
[doublepost=1483368757][/doublepost]I dunno, but I cannot see it being anywhere finished beginning of 2017. I guess we don't see inside and cannot know the state of the interior fit-out.
Yes but the walls are THIN.
This is Tim's baby and thus known as The Cook Ring or the C Ring.
Eddy: Nice building, but what a waste of money.
I could have bought a truckload of Hawaian T-shirts instead !
Phil: Stop the rabbit talk. It's all about symbols. Nelson had Trafalgar Square, Gustav Eiffel got his erection in Paris, Trump got his Trump Towers. Cook wants a huge...hmmm anyway.
Eddy: Then what am I supposed to recognize in a huge...hummph anyway ? Don't we need something masculine instead ? I guess this isn't about Tim's orientation. Or is it ? Can we freely talk about it ?
Phil: Oh man. Let go
