what's the name of such a graph ?

is there a tool to build it ?
thanks

For 99.9% of human history, that graph would have been more important.

You asked “who” makes the decisions. I gave you an answer to THAT question. You didn’t ask who SHOULD. You’re arguing with air.

We agree. This is big government telling people in Georgia they aren’t going to learn about racial cleansing in their state. Obviously I disagree with that the DOE should be doing this.

These entire last few days, you keep arguing about nothing. You have something to say, say it. But phrasing it on the form of a question, then getting direct black and white answers and arguing with a straw man makes you seem incredibly disingenuous.

Get it off your chest, whatever it is.

Replace “iPhone” with “iMac” in this comment and it reads like a prognosis from 15 years ago.

Of course, Apple isn’t going to just remain stagnant and allow new technologies to make their primary business obsolete. They’ll do exactly what they’ve been doing for the last few decades and gladly allow new technologies to cannibalize their own products, just as they did with the iPhone replacing the iPod and the iPad replacing the iMac in the vast majority of use cases.

Jesus, how do you even spend $26 BILLION on R&D?

Simple maths suggests their effective tax rate was around 19%

Strange the 2008/09 GFC didn’t create much of a spike.

Market is expected to move from smartphones to smart-glasses in about 10 years, or from iPhone to iGlass (or whatever they decide to call it) to be specific.

Step 1: die

"Ooh a billion!"

Please elaborate why this bothers you?

Damn fruit companies make a lot of money, I wonder how much the orange farmers make?

It's early here so I read this at first as Median Horse Price and I was very impressed that someone had gone through the trouble to figure this out

As a joke, but also maybe not, I'd create a category just for Da Vinci.

Yeah the Wüstenfuchs was called Erwin.

I would have expected more in r&d

What is up with your date ordering on the x axis and why don't you have a value for every year and quarter? Beautiful data is ... complete data.

Who the hell is still buying ipads??????

Sorry to jump in here early in the thread, but I currently pay 35% income tax. It's not normal. Someone asked to borrow 10k and I told them it would cost me 6k to do that. So I'd have to pull 16, 000 dollars out of an account to get 10,000 dollars. In the next few years we'll be able to lessen that, but basically I pay a lot. And I should. Lots of people with more money than me, and there are lots, pay 20% in taxes. Lots of people pay zero. If you have like 5 or 15 million, you're going to have to do some work before you stop paying exorbitant taxes. Above that, you're going to pay very little. Fuck you.

This article intentionally leaves out transfer payments. It is actually correct that the wealthy pay almost all of the taxes, even when you factor in payroll tax and sales tax which are regressive, when you also factor in transfer and in-kind payments (services provided for free are no different than a negative tax).
