“Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to donate $1 million to Donald Trump’s inauguration fund, reports Axios. The donation will be a personal donation directly from Cook rather than a donation from Apple”

I’ll defend Apple as being the least shitty of the big tech giants but I can’t defend this.

    It’s worse than that. There’s a level of hypocrisy here in that a company marketing itself as inclusive has a CEO who is donating to a far right, authoritarian slush fund. This isn’t business as usual.

      It is. The hypocrisy is part of the business itself. Democrats are in power - you market inclusiveness and donate to democrats. Republicans win - you donate to republicans.

      And in reality - you don’t give a fuck about politics, you just play the rigged game by its twisted rules.

        I disagree. You don’t see Democrats openly lining up to declare war on minorities. Don’t do the “both sides” thing.

          Yeah, you see them declaring war on the majority. The result is Trump winning the elections.

            Republicans also declare war on the majority but their voters aren’t smart enough to realize.
