That people fall for this corporate BS while Tim Cook is giving gold bars to Trump and dining and dancing with him When people are being murdered on the streets by ice is just amazing to me.

Well that’s what Americans voted for. So I don’t think anyone cares that every CEO (definitely not just Tim Cook) is schmoozing with Trump.

    Americans are not one person.

    Clearly they do.

    Tim Cook was (supposedly) principled. I guess it's hard to pretend that you care about privacy or human rights while eating dinner next to bin Salman.

      I guess if you thought he had principles then yeah that could be disappointing. Personally I've never tried to moralize corporations though, I just assume the only principle that every company and CEO operates by is whatever increases the stock price.

    Yeah Americans voted for Trump. But that shouldn't prevent CEOs to show a spine. Tim Cook is no different from all the others, therefore Apple doesn't deserve any less contempt from us.

    Funny that you think that people have free will under this zombie social media mind controlled Internet world we’re living in.

    Besides Trump‘s approval ratings are worse than ever so I don’t think people really got what they wanted, they got who they voted for not what they voted for.

      The Twinkie defense is alive and well, I see.
