With Tim Cook’s persistent support of the Trump administration and mealy mouthed finger-wagging regarding ICE, consider joining me and others in voting against TIm’s position on Apple’s board of directors.

    Why hold stock in a company that supports fascists? Just sell your stock. That sends a bigger message since if enough people sell the stock price will fall and all these jackasses seem to care about is money.

      Because that’s surrendering your power.

      It’s the same reason I vote in a broken system for the lesser of two evils.

        Yeah I got a problem with that metaphor. Voting for government that you’re a citizen of is way different than being a shareholder of a company. Being a shareholder is directly profiting from the actions of the company, and I would argue being responsible for the actions of the company as well.

        Holding stock in a fascist supporting company isn’t holding power. It’s bootlicking by increasing their stock price.
