Keep bending down and kiss the ring, Tim. You're not low enough, keep going...
I guess I'm the only one who sees this as "here little Donald, now play with this and let me do my job".
I think it's that and also more and all of it is wrong and disgusting.

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".
Keeping our morals behind closed doors is what's wrong with the world.
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.

Lmao I hope it's fake or thinly plated gold on a lead base
This is why when the whole media world rushed to protect him when he came out of the closet as gay was total and utter bullshit. He wasn't brave and he doesn't give one hot damn about the gay community clearly.
Time to boycott Apple just like everybody decided to boycott Target and Amazon for bending over.

I hate how this community has become mostly politics lately. Its understandable since technology and politics are connected but still.
I feel "tech" communities have always been more about smartphones and startups rather than actual tech.
Mmmmm..... Is it politics, or ethics?
Can you be okay having ethics discussions in technology? If not, maybe the problem is less other people, and more you, not having any sort of spine.
I, too wish everything wasn't horrible, but think of it this way: technology is the stuff, made by the people, who make decisions and ideas. And so, it's important to know what the people are doing. Especially so for those of us without the privilege of benefit of being able to ignore politics.
I'm saying you're a privileged manipulator trying to quiet those trying to improve things, and I think that you should fix that, rather than complaining that people are talking about it in a passive aggressive, manipulate way.
Maybe you could make a community called "ethics blind technology"?
Or "unethical tech"?
Maybe even "aethical technology"

Imagine if the CEO of one of the most powerful companies in the world didnt bend over and spread cheeks for a cock so small Donald has to... employ the services of paedos like Jeffery Epstein...?
Donald is suspected of being a paedophile. Yet people still bend the knee like this. I tell you, when it finally comes out, I hope everyone remembers who was happy to continue kissing his ass. Fuck you, Tim.
Just a normal day in Trumplandia. You have to suck the King’s dick to stay alive!
A set of shiny keys dangled in his face so he forgets about demanding a US-made Iphone.
What a stupid fucking dildo. Sucking pp like that.
Just suck him off already, you fucks. Come on commit!
i wonder what trump will ise that for
An apple shaped hole in a CD? He just presented Trump with an A-Hole award.
Fuck you Tim Cook
