Haha! Boris is indeed a clown. An Oxford-educated, hugely successful editor of The Spectator, mind you. But I concede the point.

I don't deserve that, because I didn't elect those idiots and I didn't vote to leave.
The problem for all the left wingers criticising this move is Trump was voted in by the American public to do this. It was clearly promised before he was voted in.
Or designing quality products rather than throw-away products. It wasn't so long ago that you didn't just toss your TV set or washing machine when it stopped working....
They could be made in the US and still cost the same money as now...
The reason Macs are so expensive is because Apple is marketing is products as some luxury items that are made out of some exotic materials that are rare on earth.
I completely agree with you.
It's just, I believe if Apple were to bring manufacturing back to the US, they would increase the price instead of keeping it the same and losing profit margin.
He was voted in by a minority of the people. He has no mandate. It's his to earn and so far he hasn't. To be fair the last guy in his position had help with a defining moment but still...
People wanted transparency in their politicians ... Trump couldn't have been more transparent on this issue.
If it's that serious then be willing to put hard numbers out there so everybody can ascertain the real extent of this situation. In the mean time the big tech companies can put their money behind their affected employees if they really want to be SJW's. I say put up or shut up.
He was voted in by Electoral vote. He lost the popular vote. This is not a democracy.
You can see by the #CalExit, Women March, and lack of a crowd at the inauguration that most people did NOT support him.
To be fair, they're probably like... "oh hellllll no. We've done this once. PASS!"
That's the way Presidents are elected in the US ... don't blame Trump ... you don't like the US electoral system protest for change.
For a land where dreams come true it's a very convoluted voting system.
Tim Cook is 100% right to stand up for his employees. You need more CEO's with his attitude. Even the right wing Daily Mail in the UK (typical headline:- immigrants cause cancer and make your cat die) is sceptical, thought the comments contain plenty of nasty fascist nonsense.

Look at the first two photos. Have you ever seen a more uncomfortable-looking bunch of people in the background?
I think that in the next few days, policy will change rapidly, though maybe not publicly, and a lot of green card holders will be allowed in. Surely these people have the right to reside in the USA. They may have no other home. He's screwed up big time...and it won't be the last time!
Shame on you, Trump. This is an abhorrent, nasty, fascist policy that will do nothing to protect the USA. Statistically, as a UK citizen, I am more likely to be a terrorist in your country than a Libyan. I picked a Libyan as I often visit Tripoli and have yet to meet anyone who wants to harm me. I'll be in tripoli next week. I bet most of the supporters of this policy couldn't even find the country on a map.
PS:- The Daily Mail headline probably isn't real!

Rather pathetic that some here seem to forget that had Trump's ban been in effect in the 50's this man (and subsequently none of us) would be here today
Been protesting since I first learned about it in middle school. Funny how people are finally listening to me about that after seeing this election

I thought that was just California
It's long enough for Trump to say he did it, and "fixed the problems". That's enough for Trump supporters, and enough for Trump. It's all about Trump. Move on....
MLK correctly pointed out that racism is a very non-Christian feeling. The left has always used racist feelings, whenever it appeared among conservatives, as a weapon against them, hence the similarity. MLK defended strict non-violence, even when confronted with violence, and the importance of the individual's moral strength. For me those are things that run counter to what communism, and the left in general, is all about.
Well, I mean in general 'the people' as a collective. Democratic government gives us the closest to the government the people deserve. More so the case when you have two options on the table. Less so when you have more than two.
Unless of course you live in a dictatorship. They are lucky not to suffer Arrow's Impossibility Theorem!
Meaning that neither you, I or Jobs would be here because his father would have been told GFY
You're the one dragging him into political issues by clicking on this link and commenting on a story. He has every right to his opinion as a citizen and also as the CEO of his company. This was an internal memo sent to hundreds of thousands of employees he oversees. He didn't make any public statements about this act or most of the other stories on Apple rumor sites. If you don't want to hear his political views, then you are going about it the wrong way.
Religion and politics are two branches on the same tree. A poisonous and evil tree.
As an example let's look at the golden age of Islam. 800 to 1100 AD then comes 12th century Hamid Al-Ghazali basically convinces everyone that algebra is the work of the devil. What good comes out of that? Nothing. Whole intellectual foundation collapsed and has not recovered sine.
Revelation has since replaced investigation. Game over.
