Where is this utopia you live, mate? On Earth?

New Zealand. Although, we're far from unique in this regard. Sure businesses can make campaign donations (but the amounts are strictly limited by law) but there's nothing like the leader shaking people down. I can think of one case, and that was 70 years ago, and more a dodgy deal than a shakedown. Just because the US is stupid and corrupt doesn't mean other places are.

I feel sorry for anyone that has to bow down to a king to avoid a bad thing from happening. Hopefully the king won't throw another tantrum. Meanwhile, today in Japan DT said American military might get sent to American cities to control the population. Will Tim discuss that with him?
They have an Emperor, but okay.
 
When all the blue cities are occupied by the military, when we're all afraid to post our negative opinions of the government online, when U.S. citizens are occasionally disappeared to prisons in foreign countries, and when congress has turned over all its power to the president, then I'll remember that Tim Cook helped to usher in this era.
There’s a fix for that. It’s called enforcing the law.
 
You realize (I hope) that the actual President and his administration are breaking the law constantly.
EOs don’t work that way. Presidents, current and past, use them as a shortcut to test a legal question. They get picked up and decided on rather quickly. Some remain enforced until rescinded and others get punted. Some eventually find their way to Congress and become law. It’s not “breaking the law” it’s “challenging the law”. He might be breaking your law, but that’s your misunderstanding of what he (and past presidents) do.
