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.
The same loophole exists almost anywhere: "its a gift to white house or trumps library"

“Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the election, and Google donated $1 million to the inauguration fund”
So is Google and every major company
You're right it's both now can we fuck off with the "buh buh buh the other company!" bullshit?
Article is about Apple not Google.

Class is the only identity that matters to them
Tim Cook giving off real housen****r vibes

Well fuck, Clarence is basically a black white supremacist.
It’s pretty clear by now that the character Stinkmeaner is based wholly on Clarence Thomas

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.

How about we make all tech ceos work in the cobalt mines instead of children
Let’s go. Start from the richest one down.

The shareholders should be ashamed.. That's not good business, that's evil.
But it's good for bussines, isn't it?

This is apple we're talking about. Not some random company.
There are bigger random companies who are bending the knee like Meta, Amazon and Google

Imagine prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this public and embarrassing way. Sheesh.
Giving him a literal gold bar (though disguised as a stand) is stereotypical buying El Presidente in a Banana Republic bullshit.

I don't use apple for the same reason I don't use fisher price as an adult. You are free to use your technology made for babies that's beside the point. The point is that the article in discussion is about Tim Cook and Apple providing a recent bribe to Trump.
Your comment is providing no value. You are attempting whataboutism and really shows the type of person you are more than anything.
To be clear, if googl was caught bribing and someone said "buh buh buh Apple!" Id be saying the same thing. Stop sucking dick like they owe you something to take a side.
When Google bribes Trump with a 24k gold gift let's discuss Google then ok?

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

I had to look it up: 24 karat is the purest form of gold. So yeah it's a gold bar 100% lmfao

Only when it's accepted by the people. If law dismantled the company then it's very bad for business.

I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.

Sounds like the US' chickens coming home to roost. After creating those conditions with their CIA elsewhere for decades.

Seems like someone is worried about tariffs on iPhones. Sadly, this will probably work too.

Not sure if you know this but I find it fun to know so I’m going to share.
In English when deciding whether to use a or an you should look at the start of the following word and if it starts with a vowel sound then use an else use a.
Examples:
- An apple
- An hour (note doesn’t start with a vowel but sounds like a vowel)
- A goat
- A criminal offence

Cost of doing business
You know how those Trump supporters thought we were supposed to be really offended at "Fuck Biden" but no one gave a shit because even most Democrats were never really cheerleaders for Biden?
Even people who hate Apple know that Google is a piece of shit too. We aren't (generally) Google cheerleaders. You don't need to whatabout all the anti-Apple comments.
