Invest in Humus. 

You're right. Kelvin is much better.

I'm honestly all for this one...
 
Also is there any way to fix that glitched frame in your profile pic? Its driving me nuts lmao

@Crunchy Dragon I like listening to this song when someone is talking to me nonsense stuff and I want him/her to shut up. 
 

You can from shady Joe down the street!
 

... wait a minute.

Would be a shame if the government needed the land for a highway and forced them off of it, paying them a fair value of $200.

Apple finally acknowledging that their stuff isn't worth all that much.

Fuck it, I'm going all in. 400 dollars for the entirety of the trillion dollar company's headquarters!

I'll raise it to $202

I'll buy it for $201 

Yeah ok when can I buy it?

So the list of this is that Apple is trying to cut down it's taxes very aggressively. The most recent attempt at this comes in the form of flat out lying about the value of their headquarters. Love or hate apple, this is just stupid.
So much so that when someone mentioned it, I told myself it was a joke, couldn't be true...

So TLDR, the tax assessors say the building is worth 1 billion, and apple says, "Nope it's worth the cost of a small portable shed."
For those who haven't seen it before, this is the building they are claiming to be worth $200

 
I'm not saying they're definitely lying... but

Each of those are solar panels. Most solar panels on a residential scale are about the cost apple is saying the building is worth...
Also this is not the only case of them trying to devalue property
It astounds me, and I'm not sure what to say that would be appropriate on this forum...To clarify the 489 open tax appeals stretch back to 2004, meaning there have been unpaid taxes held in court for years!

Let's end this with a quote from the man himself
 
Alternate Title: Apple Moves headquarters to mobile backyard shed 

 

It's the highest efficiency 10 000 BTU window air conditioner I could find.  And it's a wifi powered IoT one no less and even works with Google Assistant and Alexa.  By June the Russians will have this thing will be mining cryptocurrency and running DDoS attacks for sure!
