These are brilliant!
There’s another competition on Fandrop that we’re a part of. If we win we get to pitch at a major event later this month. We’d really appreciate it if you helped us win by doing the following:
Thanks in advance!
Rand Paul captured it perfectly:
He says he is “offended” by the hearings. Who, he said, doesn’t try to minimize their own taxes?
“Tell me what Apple has done that’s illegal,” he said.
I think this entire clusterfuck about Apple vs. the United States Senate on taxes is a load of shit.
The most important fact that some people are forgetting is that Apple isn’t breaking any laws!
I’ve read Apple’s Testimony to the US Senate and the Senate’s comments, and Carl Levin’s response speaks to me the most:
Ireland asserts tax jurisdiction only over companies that are managed and controlled in Ireland, but the United States bases tax residency on where a company is incorporated.
Basically, the United States Senate is annoyed that Apple found a good way to save a lot of money for itself, and for its shareholders. I have no problem with the Senate wanting to increase taxes by closing this loophole, but I think it’s ludicrous that the media is painting a shady picture of Apple, a fiscally responsible company that is looking out for its shareholders, which it is legally bound to do.
Great read by Netflix CEO Reed Hastings about his predictions for streaming.
Super excited about the new draft updates: fixing collaborators, comments, and publishing reports… might finally be able to move to Draft 100%!
After quite a few friends asked me for recommendations for what to do in Chicago, I decided it was time to make a list. If you think I missed something, shoot me an email or tweet and I’ll add it.
Special thanks to Sylvia Badon for helping me come up with this extended list.
