That they sold 70,000 and even much more is the impressive part.
Oh, I totally agree. i didn't mean to imply that modern westerners would somehow realize what's happening and demand justice. haha. The elite have engineered an uneducated, complacent populace that will experience the fall of western civilization via podcast while sitting in their giant SUVs in a Starbucks drive-thru.
I don’t know what you’re all talking about, everything is sunny and rosy and will continue to be fine forever and ever. Keep smiling people.

Ignoring the political portion of your post because this isn't in the politics forum, but that graphic isn't true.

I don't think we have to hate it to see it as a marketing innovation and a technical iteration...
...like most of Apple's most successful products.
Those posts don’t ever actually relate to the truth. When you dislike someone as much as the dislike Cook, it’s made personal, where facts aren’t actually relevant and it’s more about the storyline they are trying to portray. Say something long enough and people might start to believe it, as their followers clearly do as well.Ignoring the political portion of your post because this isn't in the politics forum, but that graphic isn't true.

Ignore the truth if they add to the narrative.
You have your terms mixed up. The technical innovation in AVP is the integration of unique software and the class leading hardware. It’s never one thing.
The marketing is not even an iteration. Marketing included advertising and pricing. It probably failed at those two things to match the device.
I said exactly what I mean.
Can you explain what you mean by Apple having Marketing Innovation then please? Because that makes no sense at all. I don't intend to be mean, but what are you actually talking about? Dignify us with something other than Word Salad please.
Just like someone who refuses to add substance to the conversation . All you've said in response to doctors, sports persons, celebrities etc make that sort of money. You say, "Most of these professions don't make that kind of money, not even close...." And you're flat out wrong. There is simply no basis for what you said.
Sure many are sportspeople and celebrities. However, mentioned were Doctors. Here are 2.
Patrick Soon Shiong $11.5B
Thomas Fearn Frist Jr. $9.6B
I won't even go to business leaders which makes the majority of the almost 3,000 billionaires on the planet. Cook would be near the bottom of that list.
It'd be nice to be informed with facts, eh? But it ain't com'n it seems.
Is that really what you think I said? Maybe "reading for context" IS NOT a redundant statement for everyone.
Okay. Now don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re not making any sense.
IF you’re saying, the majority of people aren’t billionaires. Well duh…
But if you’re saying something else, then what the hell is it? You can’t keep refuting other peoples comments without explaining what you are actually talking about. Well you can, and you have so far, but I’d like to hear what you’ve actually got to contribute.
As someone recently said. Just on repeat like a record.
Where is your context? All you’ve said is he’s not earned that much. That’s it. No context.
Maybe you need to give us context by defining what you mean by 'earn'. Dictionary defines it’s as "taking money in return for labour or services". Thats exactly what he’s done.
Or maybe you meant to say, he’s not worth that much. And clearly Apple think he is.
Maybe you’re saying in communism ideology, people should be paid the same. We don’t actually know because you haven’t actually said.
Words are important. Context is important. Provide some so that we may be enlightened.
fwiw, these two certainly do not make their wealth from being strictly physicians.
Now a person who was trying to add to a discussion would say how they made their wealth. As usual, no content. How did they make their wealth?
Sorry. I’ll play your game. Yes they did. I don’t need to give facts, as facts don’t provide the real story. They made it all through being strictly physicians. 🙄

Sometimes when I really want to sound important, and sound knowledgeable, I find using bold font, italics, sometimes even capital letters really makes my point. It’s extra important because I often don’t really have a point, but I just love the sound of my voice, as it were. I am, after all, always right. My opinions, after all, are truly the only ones that matter.
On the other hand; a bunch of grown people arguing whether or not a single person deserves to have billions and billions stashed away in the bank, whilst much of the worlds population is in extreme poverty, including within the very country said person is a billionaire in, is really the stuff of dreams. What a world to live in.

It doesn’t come through here. You know what they say about sarcasm…
That’s a good point. I would love world peace and equal wealth. As an adult I understand that the world doesn’t work that way, and accept that Cook is probably the lowest earning CEO's in a multi trillion dollar company. But hey, I’m not on here to hate on people. I’ll leave that to others. Just glad that as a billionaire in a country that just seems to hate itself, he gives away so much to charity.
I truly believe Tim Cook only continues working because he wants to shine a light on what's possible through hard work and sacrifice. He wants to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs and wealth creators. Seeing Tim Cook take home $74.6 million should inspire a lot of people to keep shooting for the stars. Apple benefits too since doing your best work leans heavy on utilising Apple technologies.
All nice and well, but comparing Europe with the USA, we seem to be less corrupt 😉

I agree. The thing the EU have going for it is that they investigate their corruption. The other lot are accused of corruption if they investigate corruption. Go figure.All nice and well, but comparing Europe with the USA, we seem to be less corrupt 😉

They're businessmen, they own large businesses. It's like saying Elon is the richest man because he's a horrible programmer
What businesses?
It’s nothing like Musk. Are you saying they were horrible doctors so they started businessses? What’s your point?
Okay, I’ll do the work considering you obviously can't, or it’s not in your nature to provide facts. They made their money in the healthcare system. Like many people. They do a thing (in this case they are doctors). They owned their clinic. They then bought more, and in the end, they owned hospitals. It’s a story like anyone else’s could be, where they grew their business from the bottom. Which was the point all along.
Thomas Frist is the founder of HCA Healthcare with a revenue of 60+ billion dollars
Patrick Shoon-Shiong owns the LA Times (and is messing that up), and has founded the company NantWorks, which has numerous subsidiaries.
They made their fortune by being businessmen. Being a physician is a stepping stone toward that, but they're not earning billions by being physicians. This isn't complicated
