They want an efficient government not wasting time and resources on unnecessary things ...
They get a government crying over the name of a body of water.
For people always calling the others "snowflakes" and "easily triggered", they sure do have a thin skin.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were so sensitive” is my response to these types IRL.
what's funny is Trump didn't directly change the name. that takes time. the relevant naming-people have to take it up and formally do it. All Trump did was order them to, and, uh, that only affects goverment things.
Everybody else, Apple included, are going to be using the familiar name. because Trump is a moron.
They'll follow suit. Apple is not the company people think it is. Tim was at the information along with all the other oligarchy. I know people well make excuses like he had to and blah blah blah. But no he did not. This a a openly gay man who chose to go support people who hate him why because he loves money more.

"Facts don't care about your feelings snowflake."
Wait until iOS Auto Corrects them typing Gulf of America to Gulf of Mexico but only after they hit send.
Maybe, but this is all a distraction from the actions that matter. They don't want to debate the anti-trans stuff or the immigration stuff, which is objectively bad. They want to debate people not going with a made up name for a thing, which has no objectivity. The longer they can argue about this the less time there is to discuss anything important.
Its not just being thin skinned. It's a strategy of distraction.
It's always projection with these people.
The government can fuck right off with their Newspeak.
This is a huge distraction to get you worked up about a meaningless name change. Elon is heiling on stage like an edgy teen for further drama. Meanwhile EO are signed en masse and action is taken by the new administration. This time Trump and his cronies came well prepared with a plan.

I'm waiting to hear what they want to do with New Mexico
Whoever obeys Nazis, I will boycott your platform. Plain and simple.
Hey everyone, I just signed a lemmy order changing the name of maralago to gaping jizz hole. Enjoy!
Time for everyone to start burner Open Street Maps accounts!
Thank you for your service, sir/madam. You're already a better executive than some presidents I can think of, thinking of what the people want.
As the first matter of business I need to immediately address, my resignation. No one man is equipped to weild the power of the lemexcutive for much longer than I have.
Farewell lemmings. Until we shit post together again.

Ahem. Umm, conservatives are angry that others are not calling something what THEY want it to be called?
Hmm. So.... I just feel like... perhaps, there's a similarity here. Some people... want to be referred to a specific way... but usually conservatives have a problem with that.
So, the Gulf of They/Them is what the rest of the world should call it? I can get behind that.
How about the rest of the world rename it to the "Gulf of Snowflakes" and see what America does

We need to ask them what the Gulf's pronouns are.
Are eggs cheaper because of this?
I forgot that apple was a department under the president
I feel sorry for Wozniak... Watching the company he helped build turn into what it has.
Tim Apple personally donated 1 million dollars to Trump
Is this what small government looks like? I thought these guys were all about reducing regulations and allowing businesses to do as they please, free from government restrictions.
You don't understand. They should be free of your restrictions, you should be bound by their restrictions.
