Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.

    This is my own conjecture, but I’m willing to bet that playing nicely with Pres. Trump somehow saves Apple billions more in lost revenue to tariffs and legislation because Trump rewards those who are on his good side. I’m also willing to bet Tim / Apple is pressured to do this and has a very different attitude behind closed doors. Not that this excuses anybody for their actions, but it’s clear they’re trying to game the system the best they can in the name of “business”.

        Almost like it’s a completely bullshit excuse, like “just following orders”.

        Crime isn’t suddenly okay because it’s profitable, no matter how much capitalism wants you to believe it.

        It’s like nuclear weapons

        Unless everyone gets rid of them nobody will

        Being the only one not to “bend the knee” will just hurt you if everyone else kisses his ass

          Nobody should get rid of their nukes. In fact, more countries should have nuclear arms.

          Such is life on planet earth.
