      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.

          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.

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

                  All 3 of those are smaller than Apple. The only 2 companies with bigger market caps than Apple are Nvidia and Microsoft.

                      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

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

                        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.

                                  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.

                                          Do you think liberal is an insult? Oh, I'm so sorry that promoting human rights inconveniences you.
