Rare Apple W
Company’s run by a gay man from a deep red Alabama county. I assume he very much understands what’s it’s like to be target of bigotry and discrimination.
He’s still going to donate $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
Fair point. He paid the protection money instead of fighting.
It’s not a “donation”. It’s protection money for a fucking mobster goon. You honestly can’t see that?
I do obviously see that but what’s the difference?
Google getting mugged. Google gift giving. Compare the two. Draw your own conclusions about which is voluntary and which is coercive.
If you don’t give me money and I tell the cops to break your door down and beat the crap out of you, is a “donation” if I give you money to avoid that?
Maybe spare us the anti Apple rhetoric.
I guess I’m maybe a little in denial of just how bad things have gotten over there.
That’s the thing right? Like if Apple/ Tim didn’t, they would be an early Republican target. 1million to hope to keep Trump off your back for a few years is probably worth it.
a bit less than one-tenth of one percent of one day’s revenue.
yea, probably ‘worth it’.
The $1m is being donated personally by Tim Apple. Not from Apple Inc., so bears no relation to Apple’s revenue.
His (Tim Cook) pay package for fiscal 2024 included $12 million in non-equity compensation and $1.52 million in other compensation.
it’s in there somewhere.
