Timmy loves to support the Chinese. He loves to support illegal immigrants.
Does this guy just hate America or just not thankful that Americans are responsible for making him rich?

Tim needs to fight for legislation. Let's put a real law on the books instead of executive orders.
My hammertoes naturally point upwards and somewhat laterally.
likely if he didn't work at apple he wouldn't care one way or another.

Huh? I meant he wont fight against anything that negatively impacts the company. Fighting for DACA employees is a positive for the company.
Maybe he should do his job and deliver software which works
Well it's off the books, no company is going to admit to it.
But since you asked-

He proved that fruit smoothies don't cure pancreatic cancer.
Edit: I just realized I'm referring the wrong person.
Tim needs to go run a non-profit or lobbying firm whose purpose is social activism. I think he’d be happier there — it seems to be his true passion. Jobs’ Apple passion is one of many things I miss.
I expected useless, hateful, petty blather, and I wasn’t disappointed. But if you were taken as a baby to another country where you grew up and thought of as your native home, you’d be happy to have a boss fighting for you. That’s where this ends. I don’t give a crap about anyone’s feelings about buggy OSs, hardware prices, “woke”ness, China, Steve Jobs, or anyone familiar enough to with Cook to call him Timmy, and neither do Dreamers. All an irrelevant crock, so save it.
This phrasing makes me wonder: Are there any issues where Cook and Apple disagree?
Oh just stop. I said large companies....not a golf course. Total strawman argument you made.
I'm more concerned about the buggy software Apple has been releasing this year and that has been impacting my life! This guy should shut up and stick to his job - or else quit and run for political office.
I won't debate the merits of DACA, but he is NOT on the money to urge the Supreme Court to uphold it. The executive branch does not make legislation. The judicial branch should not be compelled to uphold legislation created and "passed" outside of the constitutional bounds. Urging this ruling is hoping that our system is torn down. What Tim Cook needs to do is urge the legislative branch to perform their function.
I'm so tired of the ends justifying the means for people.
Amnesty from what? Last I checked, children born here are automatically US citizens per the US Constitution.
Total respect to Tim on this.
Very refreshing to see this kind of decency. Too many people are truly selfish and cruel at the moment. The world will not survive if 'humans' carry on with their cruelty and greed.

Incredibly selfish and typical uncaring response there. Tim is not responsible for delivering software. Not too sure that many CEO's of highly successful companies are responsible for delivering software. They have a thousand other things to do.

Come on - Apple has never been better. What Steve did 20 - 10 years ago would not work with people today. Apple has been on a roll over the last 5 years and it's getting better and better.
That’s the problem with presidents creating law by executive fiat. The next one can come along and cancel it, which is what Trump has done. Obama couldn’t get anything through Congress after the first midterm elections so he decided to issue executive orders to accomplish what he couldn’t with the legislative branch. Now Trump is undoing everything Obama willed into existence with his pen and some believe it’s established law. It’s not. Like you say if DACA is the answer then the Congress should get on with it. The pendulum has swung too far toward presidential power. There have been many periods in U.S. history where presidents have wield too much power and the results were disastrous. Andrew Jackson comes to mind when he told Supreme Court Justice Marshall “John Marshall has made his decision now let him enforce it.”
Built my first pc in years, migrating off osx this weekend. Bye Tim Cooked!
Are you saying that passion about invention and your company’s products are outmoded?
It's called outsourcing. Remember the apple employees that were listening to Siri recordings? I don't either because that work was outsourced.
Call me crazy, but after he is done with Apple, I think that this type of "social justice battles" are just his training grounds for a future political career.
it’s not what he said. Follow the thread I replied to and don’t supplant it with your own scenario.
