Not a "gift". It was a BRIBE !!
Tim Apple has turned into such a disappointing bootlicker.
it's fascism, all CEOs bend down.
no person with principles against fascism would never become a CEO, basic human decency is bad for the investors
There was once a time when a small company built out of passion could elevate a normal guy into CEO, so as recently as 30-40 years ago you could still have some decency at the top. As the barriers to entry have shot upward, today to become a C-level you get an MBA and carefully scrape out your soul as part of your "leadership" education which has nothing to do with the widgets your company will produce, and everything to do with fellating the shareholders.
It's sad because I grew up in an era when a guy could still get ahead by being sharp and having good ideas, but now it's only by Playing The Game. So those of us with morals are stuck with low earning potential because of it.
ish. but if there are shareholders, the CEO is replaceable. and principles aren't good for immediate profits.
Smells like an opportunity to cause Apple brand damage.
This almost makes me wish I still used Apple products so that I could boycott them.
Ive been Apple free for 20 years though.

US oligarchs are friends with regime?
And I can't even accept a gift voucher due to anti-bribery rules? Fuck off.
you can't even accept a bottle of water while waiting to vote! the rules are different for us and them.
Bribe. The word you're looking for
Definitely, as after this it was announced that Apple would not be affected by the 100% semiconductor tariffs.
You're kidding, right? Right?
He is kissing his as so gently.
Nothing subtly though
I don't get why people are NOW saying he's trying to appease trump. He's been doing it for years. He was front row at his inauguration right next to other billionaires.
Would Steve Jobs done the same?
bet steve wouldn't even answer the phone call. he was a bit egotistical, lol, and i doubt he'd have patience for trump's bullshit regardless of the consequences.
Steve was a c off the old unt block but he sure would've told trump he could only have a gift with FUCKWITNET engraved all over it🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hate how this community has become mostly politics lately. Its understandable since technology and politics are connected but still.
Politics are about control. When fascists are in charge. Everything is politics
Mmmmm..... Is it politics, or ethics?
Can you be okay having ethics discussions in technology? If not, maybe the problem is less other people, and more you, not having any sort of spine.
I, too wish everything wasn't horrible, but think of it this way: technology is the stuff, made by the people, who make decisions and ideas. And so, it's important to know what the people are doing. Especially so for those of us without the privilege of benefit of being able to ignore politics.
I'm saying you're a privileged manipulator trying to quiet those trying to improve things, and I think that you should fix that, rather than complaining that people are talking about it in a passive aggressive, manipulate way.
Maybe you could make a community called "ethics blind technology"?
Or "unethical tech"?
Maybe even "aethical technology"
I feel "tech" communities have always been more about smartphones and startups rather than actual tech.

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?

Giving him a literal gold bar (though disguised as a stand) is stereotypical buying El Presidente in a Banana Republic bullshit.

i wonder what trump will ise that for
I can't watch, the cringe is overpowering.
Don’t understand how this isn’t criminal in America.
It is. Except that the law doesn't protect people. People protect the law. If a law is there on paper, but no one will enforce it, then it isn't a law. It's just some words on paper.

“The move comes after Trump threatened to place a 25% tariff on Apple’s iPhones made overseas and in the face of a potential 100% tariff on semiconductors.”
Pussies
Gay man gives gift to anti-lgbtq president.
Just proves that you can be gay and still be an absolute parasite billionaire. Fuck your pride apple watch bands.

His name really is Tim Apple now.
Keep bending down and kiss the ring, Tim. You're not low enough, keep going...
I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.
