The one silver lining about the new US administration is that it has helped undermine some fundamental notions around American exceptionalism.

American oligarchs are not that different from oligarchs in other countries.

Tim Apple, Nazi collaborator and sympathizer.

Apple is just like the rest of big tech. They tried to play it as if they were the ethical one, but in the end all these private corpos are just the same.

That ring, it feels nice to kiss it - Tim Apple

How quickly most companies have walked back all of the "moral" stances they have taken over the last few years, all within just a few weeks of the political winds changing, should be a lesson to everyone that there is no such thing as an ethical publicly traded company.

They will do what they think will make the most money for the shareholders, no matter what. If you want them too "pay", the only choice is to stop giving them money.

Wow and I thought this genocidal slave-labor corporation really cared... \s \s \s

• Rotten to the Core: How the Gaza genocide has revealed anti-Palestinian racism at Apple
• 7 Apple suppliers in China have links to forced labor programs, including the use of Uyghur Muslims from Xinjiang, according to a new report
• Apple knew a supplier was using child labor but took 3 years to fully cut ties, despite the company's promises to hold itself to the 'highest standards,' report says

I guess a lot of good people will ditch Apple now, right? RIGHT?

Hmmmm, money

Next up is Tim apple announcing his conversion therapy was successful and that he will now be marrying a blonde fox news anchor on the white house lawn. He'll then run for Lindsey Graham's senate seat and carry on the tradition of being the most closeted man in the Senate... And the world.

When Lindsey Graham was asked who his first lady would be should he ever win the presidency, he replied... "My sister".

Just can't take those swinging bachelors off the market.. one at a time ladies.

I'm looking for silver linings and I suppose the marketing people at these companies are much less stressed to have to keep Googling, "how to pretend to give a shit about fellow humans" every time they need to produce a few hundred characters.

What the FUCK, Apple?!

All in bed together. Didn’t they both attend Mar A Lago? No way they’re going to separate.

Money talks and even flat earthers and antivaxx trolls have money.

Cowards

Actually last time I checked apple did their keynotes mentioning the environment and stuff, greenwashing their choices... I'm curious what they'll do now.

Just like Tesla, they might have saturated their liberal userbase, I wouldn't be too surprised if they took a more "neutral" stance

Trying to get on president musk's good side

Apple never was, and never will be not an evil company so why the surprise? Of course they do.

Bend the knee

Which phone brand is recommendable at the moment? Fairphone uses android, which can hardly be trusted.
