I can't help but feel that a lot of companies would have been better off just staying out of controversial issues only tangentially related to their business.
How quickly most companies have walked back all of the "moral" stances they have taken over the last few years, all within just a few weeks of the political winds changing, should be a lesson to everyone that there is no such thing as an ethical publicly traded company.
They will do what they think will make the most money for the shareholders, no matter what. If you want them too "pay", the only choice is to stop giving them money.
If anyone ever pays any attention to a company's posturing and dewy eyes they are truly naive. It is just pandering at best. It is why I want them to be honest and cut out all of the "We celebrate group _____" and all that and just be honest. "We want to increase our stock price by 5 cents." The best they can be is neutral. A small private company can be positive though.
Apple never was, and never will be not an evil company so why the surprise? Of course they do.
Bend the knee
Actually last time I checked apple did their keynotes mentioning the environment and stuff, greenwashing their choices... I'm curious what they'll do now.
Just like Tesla, they might have saturated their liberal userbase, I wouldn't be too surprised if they took a more "neutral" stance
Neutral in this instance being pro fascist
Hmmmm, money
Next up is Tim apple announcing his conversion therapy was successful and that he will now be marrying a blonde fox news anchor on the white house lawn. He'll then run for Lindsey Graham's senate seat and carry on the tradition of being the most closeted man in the Senate... And the world.
When Lindsey Graham was asked who his first lady would be should he ever win the presidency, he replied... "My sister".
Just can't take those swinging bachelors off the market.. one at a time ladies.
Apple is just like the rest of big tech. They tried to play it as if they were the ethical one, but in the end all these private corpos are just the same.
Microsoft/Bill Gates only got a worse rap because they were more successful
Actually about Gates, does anyone know about his stance on the current fascist takeover?
He's notoriously short $TSLA, so probably not a big fan of Elon.
Ouch xD
Who cares lol
Wow and I thought this genocidal slave-labor corporation really cared... \s \s \s
- Rotten to the Core: How the Gaza genocide has revealed anti-Palestinian racism at Apple
- 7 Apple suppliers in China have links to forced labor programs, including the use of Uyghur Muslims from Xinjiang, according to a new report
- Apple knew a supplier was using child labor but took 3 years to fully cut ties, despite the company's promises to hold itself to the 'highest standards,' report says
Trying to get on president musk's good side
