Apple CEO Tim Cook gives 24-karat gold gift to Donald Trump
-
In other countries this would be a criminal offense. For example in Austria: if the value of the gift is above 50000€ , it's 6 months - 5 years; if over 300k€ it's 1-10 years of prison.
In other countries this would be a criminal offense.
Dialing 911 and telling my local constabulary that the President is doing crimes. But then they just laugh at me and say "We're all doing crimes! It's the innocent people who get thrown in jail."

Cook isn't handling it like solid gold though (it looks too light). I bet it's 24 karat gold plated zinc.
You might be right. Looks light indeed for true gold.

Can you imagine Apple break down in foreseeable future? Because I can not.
EU have slapped their shit a few times but I suppose it's their game to lose.

Those fines are always pocket money for these companies. Until it's % of revenue based, it's destined to be a joke.

There are bigger random companies who are bending the knee like Meta, Amazon and Google
All 3 of those are smaller than Apple. The only 2 companies with bigger market caps than Apple are Nvidia and Microsoft.

Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.
Keep bending down and kiss the ring, Tim. You're not low enough, keep going...

Note, this can differ by region. For example, "an historic ..." is common in the UK, whereas it would be "a historic ..." in the US due to accent differences.

A Historic makes sense if you pronounce the hard H

Because the CEOs will biy the new people. Better to off both.

Tax them into the dirt, then there will never be more billionaires.

Whoa whoa there, slow down. You're talking crazy. Let's be reasonable.
The only way to get any sort of reliable data is to let BOTH camps go nuts and see which one gets more attention and results.
Wasting effort and resources on either will bring less results.

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.
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?

I've only seen a fraction. Did it end with a global environmental catastrophe? That was ignored because of profit?

Maybe in the early days when the Apple II was hot on the market but idk even then. Capitalist are going to do their capitalism.

I don't know who you're referring to here... Is that how you read my comments?

Plot twist: It's loaded with spyware to gain leverage over Trump and blackmail him.

Do you think neoliberals would do that?

Don't forget the $200k gold bar bribe attached to it
that's maybe $200k if it's covered in gold, but if that's an actual gold bar, then it's worth a couple million or so.

When you're rich and powerful as fuck but still bend the knee to a felon rapist pedophile.
All of America's most "powerful" people are little fucking bitches. Little bitches are calling the shots and representing us to the world. Jesus Christ how pathetic is this country going to get?
Conservatives: Hold my beer.

literal fucking bribery
It's what conservatives crave.
