With #Apple, the company operates in America, makes a ton of profit in America, and takes advantage of countless services paid for my the US taxpayer (useable roads, police, firemen, sanitation, etc.). Yet the company is trying to avoid paying any taxes to America. Completely rotten in by book.
In Jeff's case, taxes are a minor component of that. Not to mention he actually lives in the country he's taking citizenship in. So I don't see anything wrong with that.
Personally I think the US is the greatest country in the world and offers unprecedented freedoms (Canada maybe a close 2nd, but I'm not Canadian). For all those who constantly complain, I say if you don't like it, go live in Iran or North Korea and see how much better it is there. But here's someone who actually did leave which takes guts even if you don't agree with it. Well, part of living in a free country is having the right to live where you want.
@[David Zanoni](user:25795), great piece. I too think #Facebook is killing it right now and has many years of growth ahead of it. But for those not wanting to hold the stock for the long term, these are great alternatives to make money now. $FB
All good points, though I had always assume automation would open up a new wave of jobs in other related areas. Such as tech support, sales, an robotic repair. Of course those jobs need far more education than flipping or serving burgers.
I agree that the human interaction is an integral part of the dining experience, but further technical integration is inevitable. And it can help bring down the cost of eating out. Why would technology shrink the #GDP? Can you please elaborate?
