I believe VidaliaOnions.com was born from buying the domain first.

@searchbound on twitter is the owner. It's his thing to acquire a premium domain first then develop it.

Companies make deals with governments __all the time__ for tax breaks and government subsidies. Governments want jobs and investment, companies want the best deals they can get.

This is NOT extortion or bribery, just everyday business. It happens every single day even between US states, not to mention nation-states. Business is competitive and that's a good thing.

AAPL in this case has deferred taxes on profits with their structural arrangement, NOT avoided them. To call it theft is extremely ignorant of how taxes and governments work.

I pay $450 (converted) in one of their Tel Aviv locations for a single private office.

- Gets me out of the house, away from wife and kid, huge deal.

- The networking I don't use often but it IS a good option.

- The facilities are great, well staffed, clean, no complaints.

- I don't have to deal with anything for office upkeep.

- I can use other WeWorks all over the world, which are a lot these days.

As another poster said, who knows if I'll have 1 or 20 employees next year? Leases are impossible at this stage.

I would probably grow within WeWork around 8-10 employees before looking at other options. Yes, it's expensive per square meter but well worth it for flexibility.
