Tariffs

[Hypocycloids]

Not in the U.S. but let’s put a tariff on them anyway.

Thats not what I asked.

Thats not what I asked.

When they told you there was no such thing as a stupid question, they were being exceedingly tolerant.

fwiw, Tim Cook has made annual commitments on US spending by Apple dating back to Trump 45, and I don't think the company has ever come close to meetings it's stated commitments.

Here is what AI returns from Apple's public filing including 10k's:
Table 1: Apple's Annual Global Purchases of Property, Plant, and Equipment (Fiscal Years 2017-2023)
Fiscal Year Purchases of Property, Plant, and Equipment (in millions USD)
FY2017 $12,451
FY2018 $13,313
FY2019 $10,495
FY2020 $7,309
FY2021 $11,085
FY2022 $10,708
FY2023 $10,959

Thats about $62B spent globally, not just in the US, over 7 years......so what in the helll is this $100B per year about? Marketing bs?

How is Apple held accountable for its statements? If these were real, then the SEC should govern this misleading accounting statements.

Hopefully they live up to it. Who knows if they will follow through but it's always possible he's a future politician and he's blowing smoke.

Their stock is up 5% (10 points) so investors like the news. I'd really like to see it happen.
