FWIW the submitted title was "Apple reports fourth quarter results" and hasn't changed.
Thank you dang. I was likely mistaken having seen their stock dip, then commenting before it went up. I appreciate you correcting the record and think I need to take a break from the internet. Honesty is a big deal.
Thanks for the kind reply.

Stuff like changing cabin air filter or your own oil takes no additional space beyond the space already occupied by the parked car. You don't even need to lift the car to change the oil in most cases unless the car designers were massochists. Sure, maybe not everyone can get down on their back anymore, but that shouldn't be an issue for able bodied people.
Doing your own oil changes is not worth the hassle when considering the risk of a spill and the difficulty of legal disposal—unless you have a fancy engine that needs frequent oil changes. Cabin air filter and wiper fluid, sure. Headlights and taillights used to be a no-brainer, but now those are often sealed LED assemblies and difficult to access as well.
Again it is like 5 mins of hands on work if you are taking your time.

> alternative to paying tax is paying shareholders a dividend I thought corporate income tax was a tax on profits, and if a company pays a dividend that doesn't lower profits so wouldn't that be after taxes?
A higher corporate tax rate leaves less available to issue to shareholders from net income.
