minus-squareBestBouclettes@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·edit-29 个月前For reference, Apple currently has roughly 70 billion USD as cash on hands. 2.5 million USD is 0.0035% of their cash reserves. If you have a yearly salary of 50k USD, that would be equivalent to losing 1.78 USD. I am bad at math, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Is 2.5m even worth apples time?
