Apple CEO Tim Cook gives 24-karat gold gift to Donald Trump

You going to get the Trump phone, right!?
Of course he has his own phone. Let me guess, it randomly charges your account and you can’t cancel the plan?

Lol, thanks for the chuckle.

Lmao actually this is accurate. If I can find the article again I'll share it

Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.
Lmao I hope it's fake or thinly plated gold on a lead base

On nerdy sites like Lemmy people tend to fawn over Google and they can do no wrong
And every slight Apple does is The Worst Ever
If Google does the same thing, out come the excuses.

Only when it's accepted by the people. If law dismantled the company then it's very bad for business.
Can you imagine Apple break down in foreseeable future? Because I can not.

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.

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.

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.

An 'istoric
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?

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yup, it's just not so obvious when reading text if you're not familiar w/ the accent.
