Reminder that many companies bent the knee to the Nazis because it was financially beneficial for them at the time.
I heard Apple products taste like boots.
All the apple and tesla fanboys that still support then should be ashamed of themselves. By making excuses, you are enabling them to do what they do.
I mean, I don’t disagree, but Google is just as awful and most people only really have a choice between an Android phone and an iPhone so not “supporting” one or the other isn’t really an option for most people who, you know, want a phone.
Linux phones need a lot of improvement and growth before they can be a functional replacement for either of those, sadly.
The open source community could really shove it to Apple and Google by figuring that out.
Last I recall, a lot of mobile hardware requires proprietary firmware and drivers that make OSS work here really difficult.
Yet 42 million people need food stamps to not starve to death
Remember when it was viewed as not appropriate to write stories about Apple’s tax dodging because Tim Cook came out as gay, and how important and brave he was.
Remember that Apple, and specifically Tim Cook, has bent over for Trump over and over, including helping fund his bullshit ass ballroom?
Maybe we should accept that absurdly rich gay white men can be just as big of shitbirds as absurdly rich straight white men and just as willing to sell out their own countrymen and their own sexual identity community.
Thiel is gay- and ranting about the anti Christ.
As a gay, F all billionaires. Even the gay ones. They are not for the people.
Billionaire transcends all other identities.
A trans billionaire (if it was ever allowed to happen) would be a shitbird by default.
I didn’t even know he was gay.
Still, fuck him. Whenever somebody is doing something evil nothing should be used as an excuse. Similarly, Israel should not be allowed to commit genocide, because someone in the past committed genocide on Jews.
Tax dodging is stealing from us (using benefits of the society without contributing back), sending bribes and bending a knee is helping fascism to take over.
That’s honestly a bit surprising, the media went whole hog with accolades for him in 2014 when he first openly talked and wrote about being gay.

This is dystopian. Death to capitalism.
Seems not that long ago that it was a huge deal they where heading to $1T
Even crazier that they are valued at $4T when they haven’t done anything to push the business further, at least not worthy of a 300% increase in stock value.
Yeah it wasn’t that long ago that 1t was a big deal. I guess that’s what inflation buys you.
The first trillion is the hardest I guess.
Well, Apple was the first company to $1T and only the third to $4T, so maybe not?
Taxing every billionaire and corporation 90% would give every American 400,000 dollars a year…
Just saying
They’re lobbying so people don’t have any other choice
It’s not as impressive when they’ve already crossed the 1, 2, 3 trillion marks.
Call me when they hit 1 quadrillion dollars market cap.
