    An hour

    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.

    That's because the h is silent at the beginning of a word in the UK.

    An 'istoric

    A Historic makes sense if you pronounce the hard H

      Republicans don't have the spine to run at risk of death, and elections only happen every two years meaning until then DNC would have the first real supermajority since 1979.

      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?

              Yup, it's just not so obvious when reading text if you're not familiar w/ the accent.

                          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?

                                      Here's an idea, instead of killing thousands of CEOs why don't we just off 100 Republican Legislators? Let's compare outcomes: fuck all they're replaceable OR a legislative body that actually represents us.

                                        Now that's pathetic. Whatever happened to apple? What was even the latest cool thing they did? Seems almost irrelevant now

                                        There's nothing cool about Apple and never was. They're just really good at advertising to people who don't understand technology. You have always been able to get the same grade of technology for way cheaper by purchasing from elsewhere.

                                        I've been an IT professional (as a job) for over 2 decades. I have had numerous jobs and worked with a lot of tech people. I have had exactly one fellow employee that liked Apple and that dude was straight out of high school and we hired him on as an intern at first and he knew basically nothing.

                                        Apple is good at advertising and robbing people blind. That's it.

                                          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.

                                          It's criminal here too. But laws don't matter anymore because the "party of law and order" decided to elevate a felon rapist pedophile.
