Excellent job highlighting #Twitter's possible potential and shortcomings. I think you've hit the nail on the head regarding the problems the company needs to overcome. But being that they've yet to figure it out, despite having more than enough time to do so, makes me wary of $TWTR.
I don't see the difference between using a self driving car or getting a lift with a friend or a cab driver. People text, use cell phones, get distracted, etc. A self-driving car does none of these things. While I might trust my own instincts over a car's, I'd much rather trust my life to a self-driving car than another person.
The downside is that these big stores like $WMT will go out of business unless they raise prices which help the consumer. It should help the dollar, but it will take time. When that does happen though, #Walmart will get more bang for their buck so it could even out. But it's a big change and there are likely a lot of unforeseen issues which could arise.
American has one of the highest corporate tax rates at 35%. But they rarely pay anywhere near that since there are so many loopholes. Worse, many are "moving" to other countries to avoid the taxes all together.
#Trump's plan has some merits. It doesn't matter where a company is located, it only matters where they sell their products. So if they sell them here, they pay 20% taxes on that. If they sell them overseas they pay no taxes on it at all. So that helps to spur exports.
It also encourages manufacturing in the US, since they can deduct the cost of those goods if sourced from within the US. If they purchase the products from abroad they can't.
But stores like Walmart and Target buy the majority of their products overseas and sell them here in the US. So they'll pay higher taxes than a company which exports a lot of their goods, and sources at least some of their products for the US.
