That's a threat about $15bn of Apple's revenue...

Problem is, it's Apple. I mean lets be frank, is 15B even 10% of Apple's revenue?

Maybe it is? Maybe it's even more than 10%?

But I doubt it.

I mean forget revenue, I bet you could lob 15B off their profit from last year and they'd still be more profitable than they'd ever been.

If you want to hurt big companies like banks, oil companies, healthcare behemoths so on and so forth, you have to hit them where it hurts. You can't be trimming around the edges and expect changes in behavior.

Not caring about 10%, your numbers, of your revenue is how you become the most valueable company on the planet. Not.
