Apple as a corporate entity is all those things I said, and worse. Even Congress says so. (Mind, they're politicians).I agree that some others are just as bad. Amazon are even worse.
One might sensibly decide to carry out corporate tax mixing in Holland, and do B 2 B invoicing from Luxemburg, when owned by an Irish entity that makes no money in Ireland, but these 2 take it further than anyone else, and they are B2C, whilst expecting the NHS, Police, etc to look after their UK based employees and customers.
But, some of their products are quite good. Those I can afford, - remember i'm on a pension - , and have the need for, I am willing to buy.
