Tim Cook, and Apple, is supporting a pedophile. Remember that when you walk into an Apple Store, if you can afford to.

Such a disgusting display. Most normal people don't want anything to do with rapists and child molesters, yet here's Tim.

[-] ComradeRachel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 1 week ago

Honestly I am pretty sure this is a bribe to exempt Apple from tariffs. Billionaires care more about their profit than children being harm. It’s the sad truth.

[-] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

All in plain sight. Brass and shameful. Why has this been normalize? 😡

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

It's a bribe in disguise. It's a tribute and a public spectacle of loyalty. And the top voted comment thinks Tim is playing 4d chess with Trump...

Nothing will improve until these people are eliminated from their positions of power. Stop giving Apple your money.

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".

[-] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

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

I don't know, I mean if any corporation can eat the loss, it's apple with their insanely high margins.

I'm more inclined to believe there's some form of quid pro quo going on behind the scenes.

Besides, I simply cannot picture Tim Apple as any kind of a hero in this picture. No way he got bullied. He's getting something out of it. You scratch my back. I'll scratch yours.

When you're rich and powerful as fuck but still bend the knee to a felon rapist pedophile.

All of America's most "powerful" people are little fucking bitches. Little bitches are calling the shots and representing us to the world. Jesus Christ how pathetic is this country going to get?

Do stocks go up from such a cringe-move?

[-] AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social 13 points 1 week ago

Apple stock did, and unfortunately it even makes sense why. Considering how self-centered Trump is, and how easily swayed he can be by a literal shiny rock being given to him, this was probably a legitimately good trade for Apple.

They spend some money on a gold brick with some laser-cut glass, and the president of the entire country either gives them preferential treatment, or simply doesn't take any more extreme actions he was planning to take against them.
