    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.

      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.

          Brass

          Brash

          No, I mean brass: “figurative. Taken as a type of insensibility to shame: hence, Effrontery, impudence, unblushingness.” (DEFINED)

          Brash would not have been appropriate (defined as “self-assertive in a rude, noisy, or overbearing way”). Tim was not rude, noisy or overbearing, but he was absolutely shameless!

      Jesus short memories.

      Apple phones have been built in by Chinese kids in buildings with suicide nets on them since the beginning.

      When the fuck did Apple EVER give a shit about anything other than its value?

      At this point it seems like half of them became billionaires just to be the ones harming the children.

      “Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the election, and Google donated $1 million to the inauguration fund”
