While this is commendable, COVID19 symptoms can range from severe fevers and respiratory failure to those more consistent with a viral upper respiratory infection so they are essentially going to end up paying anyone with a cold to stay home. Not the worst thing, but probably more than they really want to do, too.

If the Apple stock price gets low enough Apple can just buy themself out and the game will be over.

Even with the current slaughter AAPL is still worth $1.18T, not exactly a candidate for going private.

Nothing about Apple's current valuation or their structure makes ever going private a feasible option.

Who gets to do "after hours trading"? Certainly not the individual investor, right? If certain investors get to buy and sell securities over the weekend why is the stock market "closed" on Saturday and Sunday. I don't get this.

I guess all your "hard earned" money made from owning stock in Apple will be gone soon. Maybe another huge tax break for the 1% would make it right? 

It's times like these when the communists crawl out of the woodwork promising a chicken in every pot even though they know they can't deliver on that promise. "They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work" is an old Russian saying. Time to send the rich to reeducation camps and confiscate their wealth. Oh wait, that's Bernie's plan. My bad.

He’s a socialist not a communist. Get your FUD right. 

He’s really more of a Marxist.

He is nothing like a Marxist, or anywhere close to a Marxist.  For instance he isnt trying to seize all the means of production, or instigate a worker's revolution. A few tweaks to medicare, some new taxes does not a marxist make. 

Guess you’re not familiar with his platform or his tweets?

Just today he insisted that a Coronavirus treatment should be “free”. How does that work?

I suspect many here, like I did, bought AAPL so long ago it isn't that terrible so far.

sorry you missed my point, buying stock is the laziest way to "earn" a living doing something that contributes to society is how to earn something.

Hopefully they confirm that the people actually do have corona virus, otherwise I am sure that there will be sneaky people taking advantage of the situation. Anybody who believes that they have it should be tested for it, and the truth shall be known.
