Disallow such actions, and tax them on their true holdings and earnings. If they resist, dissolve the corporation and jail the execs for 500 years each.
Apple definitely needs a follow-up to the iPhone SE form factor and price range.
There will be one made in India, according to the announcements in the Chinese and Indian media, but Apple doesn't want you to realize you can order that in the US online direct from Apple.
In the 1944-1974 period, the split between capital and labor was 50:50 (you kept half of the profit from productivity gains from your work).
In the 1974-2018 period, the split between capital and labor was 90:10 (you get 10 cents of the extra dollar profit your employer "earned" from your work). Frequently that was less than increased costs of living for employees.
As a matter of fact, there are entire mountain chains filled with material that literally washes down rivers to become sand, which also contains all the other materials you need to make the solar panels.
Hey, if we put turbines in those rivers, we could power the fabrication plants... oh, wait, we do.
Fun fact: if Big Oil hadn't done this, we'd be paying half as much for filling our tanks, and those of us who would have already transitioned to $6000 EVs made in China and Taiwan would be paying between 1/10th and 1/40th as much, plus paying half the maintenance fees.
You got ripped off big time.
(caveat: I have invested and owned direct stocks in fossil fuel firms (oil,gas,ethanol,coal,biomass) and in automobile and airplane firms)
Just went on a tour there and enjoyed it, liked the cafe inside and the nearby shop display building, saw quite a few of the new planes being built, including those not yet assembled. Nicer than the place we used to design drones in.
It's not a big deal. A lot of her neighbors in Cali also use plug-in EVs, and they all have no problem using them.
The fossil fuel firms depend on you incorrectly thinking gasoline vehicles are cheaper, whereas in the real world they typically cost 1/2 to 1/20th the cost to fuel and half the maintenance fees for a full EV.
Nope. EVs just replace GHG emitting vehicles, and it depends on the power mix that supplies them. If the electricity is 100 percent coal produced, then it might have an effect of only pushing emissions from point sources in urban centers (bad) to the coal-fired utilities that make the electricity, but in most cases in the EU, US, Canada, Mexico, China, India, the electricity is a mix of renewables and coal. So it's slightly better than a gasoline vehicle (the oil has to be drilled, pumped, shipped, refined, shipped again, and then distributed, which leaves a long logistics train, part of why the military is moving to a renewable energy basis).
The major change is that we allow tax credits for depreciation for fossil fuel vehicles at all levels, as well as fleet subsidies for them, as well as tax exemptions, exclusions, and grandfathering of them. Which is why the subsidies for oil based gasoline are 20 times those of EVs. Corn-based ethanol (caveat: I participated in 2 IPOs for those) is pretty bad too, mostly due to the use of water and fertilizer to produce the corn.
You can't do anything from all the GHG in the atmosphere and oceans now.
Or can you?
1. The 23 US States (and BC) that have Renewable Energy Portfolio standards of 50 pct of all new energy, lead the way. They reduced their emissions, even while their population increased and their GDP outpaced the rest of the US. This shows we need to set a 120 percent Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), where for every new KWHr we use in new energy, we have to build 120 percent of that in renewable utility plants. This can include solar and wind residential use, but must include decommissioning of coal and oil usage.
2. A lot of China and India still use coal for heating. Fix that.
3. Remove all tax exemptions, exclusions, subsidies and grandfather clauses for all fossil fuel usage. This includes depreciation, which should sunset in 2020. Got a coal plant after 2020? Not a tax deduction for depreciation, and you pay the full cost of all cleanups.
4. We can remove carbon easily from both the food supply and the oceans (where it's been going). Institute large scale shellfish reefs (clams, mussels, other bivalves, not shrimp) with seagrass and seaweed planted in and around it. Studies show this acts as a massive carbon sink (the shells), you can eat the meat from it, and the shells can also be used in various forms of concrete, replacing the current sources that add to GHG emissions.

Why pay $1000 for stuff you don't need when a $500 one you can order online in the US direct from Apple is more than you need?
My twin nieces will still defeat your facial recognition software. Every time.

Sorry, I just see no need to pay $1000 for a $500 phone when my current maxed out one does perfectly well.
My next iPhone will probably be a model made for India. Small, compact, capable, and around $500 instead of $1000.
Next time, when we tell you there are hundreds of thousands of fake twitter bots, and turn them in to you, believe us.
Note it's probably a lot worse than that.
How much did Amazon pay you to write that?
The companies deserve it.

Check.
Stop worrying.
Verify. Then trust.

Who would ever think that all the methods that have continually worked over and over to defeat biometric methods would continue to work?
P.S.: Train your data sets with reality, not with artificial segments of reality.
You forget that Dr Nato guy, he's leading AI research in the South.
How do you know the bots posting to this thread aren't actually paper-writing AI bots that are bored out of their code loops?
Should tax people on a per character basis.
Why do you hate character actors so?
That makes a lot more sense than taxing text messages
That's because Canada not only respects the Rule of Law, they respect treaties.
Unlike some countries ...
Most of the indices we use don't incorporate the Chinese-only papers, just the ones published in English.
Come back when you actually count those.

My grandparents were walking a few miles even in their 90s. I'm looking forward to winning ultra-marathons in Greece and Spain in my 90s, personally.

We've shown you how. Now stop whining.
