Tim Cook should stop this political lobbying of his democrat agenda and start being a better CEO of Apple.
I really hate it when CEO's (like Tim Cook) abuse their position as CEO to lobby various political issues. His job is CEO of Apple, not political lobbyist.
I'm not disappointed because we all know he puts his lobbying before his job as CEO.
A very sad day for our beautiful country and the world. May people will needlessly suffer as a result of this irrational action by president Trump. Many people will suffer.
In many ways I am glad that I am near 80 and will not live to see the troubled times to come, but my grandchildren and my great grandchildren will. Very sad.
Saving the world is not irrational. I would have though someone with your age and wisdom would have known this. The Paris Accord will not make sure the planet will be a better place. It's just a group of world leaders who are flashing around some big numbers and makiing themselves look good, while ignoring all of the science that is at the heart of the issue.
Give your opinion on someone else's freedom to participate politics a rest
We are not angry at what Tim Cook is doing here. We are angry at how Tim Cook is doing it. We are angry that Tim is trying to push his views on every Apple employee. Tim wants every Apple employee not to have their own opinion. The fact Tim sent the letter to all Apple employees is Tim abusing hsi position of CEO to lobby. If Tim lobbyed on his own time as Tim Cook private citizen then fine I'd be ok with it.
If Tim Cook private citizen wants to lobby politically, I'm ok with it, go ahead, freedom of speech and thought etc etc.
However Tim Cook CEO of Apple lobbying and sending letters to all Apple employees pushimg his lobbying down their throats is not acceptable and wrong.
"He has to no right to say his opinion"! People would say. Even though he invest in clean energy and as a American citizen he has the right to voice his opinion.
Acting as an american citizen is different to abusing his position as Apple CEO.
Guessing most here opposed to trump withdrawing did not read the stupidity obama agreed to
Very few people hold all presients to the same level of accountability. They treat some presidents like gods and other presidents like the devil.
This is the saddest day in American politics since the assassination of MLK. If you don't think that, I doubt your sanity.
Do you even know the history of your own nation. You saying this makes me doubtful.
It's disgraceful that this issue is even considered "politics," that some are so wilfully blind as to think the long term well being of our species and our planet is just another issue that can be debated back and forth and used as a political cudgel, as if the science isn't clear and the dangers aren't real.
It's a true embarrassment that not everyone is behind doing anything and everything we can do, as the richest and most powerful nation in the world. Even more shameful is how Paris was just a tiny first step, and we couldn't even make that.
The whole Paris Accord is political farce. It's not about the science. If it was about the science, It would be be a gathering of the world's best climate scientists, not the world's most influential leaders.
Why don't Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Bob Iger just bankroll the entire thing themselves then....
They should. But as we both know this is not about the science. If it was then all these "proud globalists" would bankroll the scientific research themselves. These "proud globalists" just want more influence in the political sphere so they can get their agenda accomplished.
Tim Cook sharing the letter he did does not achieve anything apart from showing how he us abusing his position as CEO. If Tim Cook sent a letter to all the Apple Employees saying - "Apple is funding independant research into climate change" then that would be quite respectable and something we can all get behind.
The facts are simple. Tim Cook is a hard democrat and is against anything that a Republican president does. Tim Cook earned his position at Apple while Obama was president. Did Tim Cook write letters to Apple about the wrongs Obama did? Not at all, Tim Cook kissed Obama's feet. Total hypocracy there.
The really sad part is the major Apple shareholders like Carl Icahn are not calling out his abuse of his position as CEO at the share holder meetings. The major shareholders should be demanding Tim Cook's head on a platter for this abuse of his position. But all the major Apple shareholders are piss weak. As long as their shares rise, they don't care about anything else.
This is a sad day indeed . . . not because of anything Trump did. It's a sad day because the CEO of the largest public company in the world - Apple - has abused his position as CEO and no one with power seems to care or want to put a stop to it.
