Apple should butt out and not be involved in Politics. Probably Hillary will allow Apple bring all money home tax free if she is elected? Hell no. I'm for TRUMP and I'm from Europe.

Why do you care so much what Tim Cook does on HIS own time, his own dime, and most importantly, his private life?

Do you have restrictions placed on your time outside of work?

Hillary%20the%20hippie.jpg


^ Smoke that from an Apple pipe. ;) Hippies stick together and if Steve Jobs was still alive, he would approve.

All I hear from Trump's campaign is TALK, TALK, TALK. Crooked Hillary! Trolling on Twitter. ELITIST TALK full of hatred. Then say if Donald was elected, what next? Spends one-third of his presidency like George W did vacationing? Where to? The Hamptons? While the country crumbles.

What people don't really get is right-wingers tried to destroy the Clintons because of Bill's infidelity the moment he ran for office. Imagine if JFK was still alive? Yet, Billary are still together. Hillary could easily have divorced Bill by 2001 like Al and Tipper did after 40 years. She could easily disappear from the limelight like other First Ladies did. Barbara and Laura didn't do jack during or after. Jackie Kennedy became the biggest gold digger once Jack was assassinated. Hillary is a senior citizen and grandmother. At 68, should be retired. I still see her busting her *** being a Senator and Secretary of State. While I watch Obama work on his golf swing in Hawaii and not care.

My previous posts about Hillary was about LOVE and HARD WORK. They go hand in hand. You can't just be in love and not put any work into the relationship. Not go through the trials and tribulations. Maybe the narrative is a little different because Billary were still young back then. Bill will turn 70 next month. People evolve and change. Mike Tyson changed and he is only 50. Maybe less sex jokes. This was in the 1990's. Can people just let that go? He's a grandpa now. Can Americans forgive? Hillary did.

Implementation > Policy > Communication > Personal Life

But haters want to see it reversed. Personal lives matter more to them than policy and performance. They want to see the superficial and then crack jokes. We don't know what their relationship is really like. But that's their business. Bill only took 174 days of vacation time during his eight years while George W vacationed more than the Griswalds and Obama's fam vacations more lavishly than the Kardashians.

Hillary could've been useless like the Bush wives and Jackie O after her First Lady term was over. Divorce Bill and take half his money like the $150M Juanita got from Michael Jordan. She keeps pushing herself to work. To make changes, you have to work hard. A 68-year old woman still busting her *** out there. For a guy who is rich, talk is cheap, Donald.

Bill & Hillary, proving that LOVE CONQUERS ALL.

Huh?
 
Many of my prior posts defended Tim when others attacked.

But no longer. Cook must've been a depraved youth. He's gone off the rails as an adult. Dragging a Great Company into Politics is sheer lunacy.

Such a Dolt...


Please name one large company that doesn't focus on Politics. You can't. It would be foolish to try.

Actually, supporting Hillary is good for Apple. Investors are deathly scared of Trump becoming president. Seriously, it will ruin the economy. That's why supporting her is good for business.

what?

he supports because of LBGTQ. Cook is publicly known gay.

just to start, raising minimum wage to $15 is the best way to move jobs oversea. how about raising minimum wage to $100 so that everyone is rich overnight? giving alot of free stuff (socialist) and increasing taxes to pay for those free stuff are the second best way to move jobs oversea. because business survives to make profit. those two items are the opposite of profit.

Look no further. check out the article from MR "Nobel-Winning Economist Calls Apple's Irish Tax Arrangement 'Fraud'" .... Apple like many other companies runs away from U.S. because of Tax

yeah, Hillary is for economy, right?

Somehow the political arena is not his environment, another alternative is that he might have been forced into a position he don't want to be in.

At one point there will be conflicts of interest between a federal government that insists on access to all private data in real time and drives legislation in that direction and Apple who has built privacy protection into its brand and long term strategy.

Logical thinking/comment. We can't have that here. /s

So in that case every CEO in history has ever held a private event for a republican presidential candidate is also an idiot and unprofessional and should be fired right?

The only ones pissed off are the right wing extremists mouth breathers who only tolerate their own point of view and those who agree with them.

I'm not a Republican or Democrat, I'm a moderate who dislikes both sides evenly because of what I consider extremist and common sense deprived views
You support a corrupt pandering liar simply because she's a Democrat.


File this under H for Hypocrite.

I think Apple should do what Google did with Eric Schmidt. Make Tim Cook Chairman and have someone else run the company. Let Tim do all the environmental and social stuff, meeting with governments and whatnot. I think that's where his heart is.

Damn good point. He still might be a bit too dangerous as chairman, but on the board would be ok I guess.

Wow...you just took the RNC bait hook line and sinker.

You know there is absolutely no evidence to support any of your accusations.

Actually there is evidence in abundance. It's all out there to see if you care to look. The only problem is nobody in the correct position will prosecute.

Sell out to Hillary in anticipation that she will become president. At least tim is prudent...

If he was truly wise or prudent, he'd be playing both sides, cause the outcome is highly uncertain.
 
Where do you live? The US economy is doing much better than 8 years ago. Also, he's supporting Clinton, not the criminal Trump.

no, where do you live? do you know US is massive in debt the last 8 years. like you scanning all of your credit card to the max to buy car, house, boat. then calling yourself rich and powerful.

The Fed banks print more money and buy its own bonds to boost the economy. like you use new credit to pay for the old credit card balance. they have never done this before in US history. this is unprecedented. there will be a bust soon whenever the Fed intervenes and manipulates the economy.

as usually, liberals are naive and think everything should be free.

First, most economists agree that raising the minimum wage to a living wage will have a positive effect on the economy and lessen the tax burden of the rest of the country. Second, economists across the board are frightened of the possibility of a Trump presidency. So, yes, it would be good for Apple (and everybody else on the planet) for Hillary to win if it means Trump isn't president.

You claim to hate both sides but only rabidly bash a democrat using republican talking points.

if you think economists are the crystal ball, then they all should have been billionaire.

We should stop going to war and paying for it with our social security money. By the way, we should raise taxes on the top tier to pay back all that money the Bush admin stole fighting the wars in the middle east, and is the reason we have such a big debt.

do you know how much Obama is paying for the war right now? for Afghanistan, Iraq, Libia, and Syria? not including subsidize 70% of NATO budget for other countries riding free in EU.

If we don't listen to economists about the economy, who should we listen to? A failed business man who has declared bankruptcy 4 times and scammed many many people out of their hard earned cash?

here is fact. all of smartest economists are working for the Federal Banks. yet, we have the worst housing collapse and the worst recession because of the Fed low interest rate. now They are printing money to buy their own bonds to boost/save the economy. like you scan your new credit card to pay for the old credit card balance.

The Fed was behind bank/auto bailout. right now the Fed is throwing money out for anyone to borrow. mortgage rate is at historic low, again, to boost the ecomony. there will be another recession coming because of this.
 
Not much of a fan of Hillary but she's at least better than Trump.

Trump is an arrogant but at least he knows how a company works. Hillary never had a real job in her life. I'm not going to vote for either but I hate that lying b****. I hate demagogues.

The only good thing that comes from a politician mouth is lowering taxes. Public sector is pure waste.

Tim: “Look, Hillary kills black Muslim women and takes tens of millions of dollars from mideast regimes that torture and murder LGBTQ, but hey, she’s a Democrat so let’s have a fundraiser for Her.”

Please link and cite the black Muslim women Hillary has killed...


Apple makes billions of dollars selling in Apple products to and in those same regimes so your fake outrage is pathetic and unbelievable. Second Apple makes most of its products in China, who doesn't have the best human rights record.

Tim Cook should hold a fund raiser for Trump who has no connections or business dealing in the Middle East and have vowed to find a peaceful solution to all international conflicts without resorting to killing a single terrorist.

I don't even know where to begin with that bucket of insanity you posted.

How many times did Trump declare bankruptcy, was it three or four?

So now being Senator for four years and Secratary of State for four years doesn't count as a real job? I guess only ditch diggers like you have "real jobs".
