No, they spent $2 billion in hard cash - and got back paper that has a supposed value of $7 billion. Now the fun begins trying to sell pre-IPO stocks in China...
Oh, they did, but the judge tossed the case - not because of the actions, but because "proof of intent" could not be established. The US has devolved to where it doesn't matter if you did something wrong - it only matters if you intended to do wrong. Thoughtcrime is more important than actual crime...
Where is the Watergate reporting crew when we need them?
Well, the one suffering from the leaks (Hillary!) was a junior lawyer in the Watergate scandal, so she knows all too well what it can do - and it's certain she's asking her friends in the media to NOT do what Woodward and Bernstein did.
You know, all that testimony of the DNC and Hillary!s staff that said it's the Russians. That evidence. And it's digital evidence because you can read their claims on the Internet!
That usually works. But then you get instances like the Rossi/Gregoire Governor's race in WA in 2004 where ballots "discovered" a month after the election got tossed into the mix and just happened to overturn the first - and second - counts of the votes. So where there's a will, there's a way!
Bzzzzt. Thank you for playing, try again. If the Clinton Administration ran a surplus, then why did our national debt increase every year? It's increased every year since 1957. Don't fall for the "on budget deficit" trick; that takes a LOT of the spending off the books and makes the numbers pretty - but we still spent more than we brought in (and thus our debt increased - because we had to borrow to cover the balance).
Huh... Stuck forever? My Galaxy Note 5 (Verizon) gets regular updates. It's running Android 6.0.1 which was released about 21 days ago. And it updated about 14 days ago. So I guess I was, technically, stuck on an old version for about 7 days...
Well, if you don't cover overhead - but still pay for it - you end up losing money. At the end of the day, the sale price of all your products better add up to the costs of buying/making those products AND the cost of running your business. Or you lose money. That's the minimum price you can reasonably sell for unless you want to eventually go bankrupt.
Look up the 1957 Federal revenues per capita, and adjust for inflation. You'll find the revenues per capita today is a little over twice as much as that in 1957. While the nominal tax rates are lower - the effective tax rates now are considerably higher.
Note too that the last time the Federal Government actually ran a real surplus (meaning - no new debt because we paid for everything, didn't borrow to buy) was in 1957 with half the effective tax rate. Spending has gotten insanely out-of-hand, and the calls by Stiglitz and others to "raise more revenue" will just ensure spending accelerates even further. At least that's what history shows - as revenues increase, spending increases even faster.
It is, if you use it as a location for income/business purposes. Likewise cars, and other assets. If you use them make money - then they are deductible.
Profit is what's left after you've paid for the product. That's what is taxed at 39%. If you don't have any profit, you are right - you pay no taxes! Of course, you don't have any profit either... Oh and all those salaries that you "get to write off" do have income and FICA taxes applied to them.
Well, that describes how much you CAN charge. But there is also a minimum amount - and that is based upon CoGS, overhead and taxes/fees/duties applied. If the demand price is below that level - you don't sell since you will lose money on each unit.
It's actually a very beautiful mountain range to the West of Seattle, forming the break between the Pacific Ocean and Puget Sound. The Olympics are snow-capped year-round, rugged, house the wettest place in the lower 48 States (Hoh river forest), and some great mountain goat, elk, and deer hunting.
This was an attempt by Russia, who considers the US a rival and possible enemy, to create political upheaval in US and change the outcome of an election.
Ahh, so Hillary!s power of persuation is SO STRONG that she got Tim Kaine to change his support for TPP on the very day he was nominated at VP. I mean, she clearly would NOT pick a pro-TPP running mate, would she? Unless perhaps she's still not really settled on the TPP itself...
Cool about the 3rd party! So why do you care what the GOP or the Democrats do with their nominee? After all - you're going for a 3rd party... Wouldn't is help your 3rd party candidate if the GOP and the Democrats had candidates you think were terrible?
Hi there! Upper class (not middle class - top 10%) here, no iPhone! And checking around - I'd say there's a lot of Samsung phones I see in the hands of upper middle and upper class folks. My family is pretty much Apple-free... And with Apple's continued China slide (and essentially zero presence in India), doesn't look like they're going to continue the growth they've enjoyed. Saturated market, high prices, heavy competition - not good for the long term.
Latest data shows that Apple is falling in China The Chinese market as a whole is slowing down, and domestic manufacturers rule (Huawei, Oppo. Xiaomi all top Apple). Apple is losing in the China market - and will lose in the Indian market, and the other SE Asia markets. Their phones and iTunes/App Store are too expensive and difficult to access for the half of the world that lives in China, India and SE Asia.

Over 4000 employees in Cork. That's a bit more than "just an office that says Apple".

Fabio just shed a single tear over your comment...

Imagine if a foreign nation conspired to funnel millions of dollars to a specific party in an attempt to influence the election? The upheaval and outcome of the election could be at stake!

Well, let's be fair, after all a massive 7% of journalists identify as Republican, so you can't say ALL the media works for the Democrats... ;)
Banning reporters is a totally Republican thing, isn't it?
Hillary! has been on the /. front page before...
I hope you avoid the sun, then... Be a vampire, no worry for skin cancer!
