Apple has decided to build a new campus in Austin. Bringing in 15,000-25,000 new employees (all Apple LIBtards). Just what we need 25,000-40,000 more LIBtards.

I wonder how many millions in tax cuts, etc the city gave them?
Meanwhile traffic gets worse, housing gets more expensive, and taxes go up. |

The non-lib Apple employees (Apple is good at sorta-capitalism) stfu so they can keep their cushy gig. They exist I know some. Keep the tax doll hairs local, plus the Apple folks won't be like all the other dirty hippies who seem to be everywhere in Austin

But that's O.K, I'm sure most of them enjoyed it. Well, I should say, the city council arranged for all the Austin taxpayers to do so... But the part about them enjoying it probably still applies. FWIW, I live outside the city limits... Anyway, even though I'm a techie, I won't even bother to apply for any job openings there. Someone that hates me works there and I figure he'll make sure I'd never get hired anyway. |

As a software engineer, this is good for me.
Not that I'd want to work for Apple, but currently the Austin area has more software engineers than jobs, and it pushes salary's down by about 20-25% relative to the rest of the US. I'm okay with Apple needing to fill 5k jobs and depleting the labor pool a little. |

If you assume 10% annual tax increases, that property would have generated $2446.48 in taxes TOTAL over the next 15 years. The county may not be kicking apple in the nads for taxes, but it's not like they're loosing a whole lot of money. Odds are all the apple engineers are going to pay more than $2446.48 EACH in sales tax annually. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So assuming they bring all 5-15K potential employees from the leftest of Cali.... is that going to sway the politics of the state? Honestly those districts are already democrat. Also have you ever noticed that the way our immigration laws work on allowing a large amount of family members to come with you when your allowed to move to the US? That would also inflate the amount of people voting like a liberal. For some resson people that are fleeing their shit native lands tend to vote for the same shit that caused them to move. Can 15000 make a large difference on average? No. Can those 15,000 with others that comes with them or other future mass relocations make a difference? Yes. |

roughly 30% of registered voters in California identify and vote as Republican. Not all Apple employees, nor all people from California are Liberal (less than 50% of the STATE identifies as Democrat). Also, not all jobs will be filled by Californians... in fact, the majority of available jobs at their new campus, just like those at their existing campus, will be filled by Texans.

They will bring their own crew in and we will have imported 10k + Leftcoasters who will vote us in their direction. Importing our own demise, one company at a time. |

You're assuming all Apple employees are liberals. I'm here to tell you they are not.
Also, little known secret, Apple has owned land in Wilco for a long, long time. But chose to do nothing with it due to Wilco trying to dictate company policies. They sold that land several years back when they decided to move and expand the current campus. |
