Apple currently holding more cash than....

[Serenity]

Maybe they plan on buying the U.S goverment?
 

That's a very interesting prospect... how would that work?

[mechanic]

Yeah Apple has more cash reserves, but how many nuclear warheads do they have?

I thought so.

They cut a deal with the goverment to use their reserve money to help pay off some of our debts in exchange for political saying on goverment activities? possibly have the goverment look the other way as apple moves to become a monopoly? or they could just do a deal that makes the president's strings be pulled by apple behind the curtains.

Ya never know

if they pay off the ogvernment so they get a say on the doings behind closed doors in exchange for being a monoply, isnt that called corruption? I'm sure theres some going on now, but there are supposedly laws against it, arent there?

political corruption and monopolies are not worth the price the working class would pay.

They will probably pass a bill saying every house hold should have an apple device in it

I agree.

But it would be behind closed doors, the working class most likely wouldnt even know it was going on.

So basically we'd get shafted without even knowing it

i disagree, i do not wish to turn this into a political thread and voice my opinons, but in a nut shell i feel thats already happening, and if (God Forbid) Aplle should have say in the government by buying it out, it would only get worse.

$76bn is a very small drop in a $40tn ocean I'm afraid. And that's as political as I'm going to get.
