Apple is now, officially, a dying company. I give it 10 years. Wall Street has taken over.
Sorry Apple employees, but look at the numbers. 4000 people? Do you really think it takes 4000 people to write an application? It's time to bail out, if you have an ounce of sense. Those 4000 people are being hired to replace you.
When Wall Street takes over a company, essentially the psychopaths have taken over. Wall Street declared war on the American people back in the vicinity of 1998-2001 via outsourcing and H1-B "insourcing." The nature of "money psychopaths" is very similar to Catholic priest pedophiles.
Many people wonder, "What is it about religion, or Catholicism in particular, that makes so many priests pedophiles?" It has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with psychopathic obsession.
The Catholic church provides (or at least used to) the ultimate cover for a pedophile. Who would ever believe a priest was raping young boys or girls? Who would ever believe a man of God would commit such crimes? No one. Hence the perfect cover. Psychopathic pedophiles are so obsessed with their obsession that they go out of their way to become priests simply because this is (or at least was) a prime opportunity to commit their crimes.
The war on the American People by Wall Street is not dictated by cost, logic, quality, or reason, it's dictated by greed. Pure unbridled, unethical greed. A "money psychopath" is an individual that is so obsessed with collecting money that they will do anything to anybody anywhere on Earth to get more, and more, and more, and more....and it never ends. Like the pedophile priest, they only stop when they've been caught. Jobs must be outsourced to optimize profits. CEOs must respond to their demands or be replaced.
Here is my prediction of what will happen at Apple now that Wall Street is controlling the company:
- Fake Layoffs to justify outsourcing: Whenever a company announces that it's laying off workers, the price of the stock goes up because all the idiots on Wall Street will see this as a "sign of efficiency." The reality is that large monied investors are leveraging their bets that they can rake in HUGE amounts of money just by doing this and purchasing large quantities of stock prior to the often massive layoff announcements. They'll line their pockets with money. Meanwhile, people with skills and talent will become demoralized and start quitting. I should add, the layoffs are frequently not even remotely justified.
- The company uses third rate outsourced talent to replace those that leave. The idea here, of course, is to keep providing products. Wall Street could care less what the quality is, only the cost. How much more can they rake out of this harpooned whale before it finally dies?
- The company starts collapsing. This is the natural effect of "Greed gone wild." Poor quality, less than extraordinary people, bottom line management. This is the natural "Wall Street progression" of business. The idea isn't to make a lasting company, the idea is to grab as much blubber from that harpooned whale before it sinks to the bottom of the sea.
- The company is split into pieces. The final last gasp of Wall Street will be to sell off what they've just destroyed to the highest bidder. After this, the case is now closed. For all practical purposes, the company has been killed after being raped to death.
The signs of this are already apparent. A perfect example of this is Tim Cook's marketing stunt to "protect all his users from all those obtrusive, spying, evil entity governments that want back doors into an iPhone" so they could possibly find out more about the murders in San Bernadino by terrorists. I suspect the instructions for this antic came from Wall Street, who simply saw it as a marketing and sales tactic. Like a good, top notch performing seal, Tim obliged. But wait....it turns out the FBI could find someone that could crack the phone without Apple's help. End result: The FBI indirectly makes it
OBVIOUS that the particular "secure" iPhone could be hacked. The marketing scheme has backfired. Apple announces that the ONLY phone that could be cracked was the type the FBI tested, but conveniently fails to acknowledge that the FBI didn't bother testing any other phones. This of course begs the question, "just exactly how secure are these things, especially since Apple Pay is now a 'secure' payment option?"
The writing is on the wall. Apple fired or forced out several of their key personnel after Steve Jobs died. OS X versions are coming out that are so buggy they're only functional AFTER a yet another new release comes out. The head of design seem to think a computer is a fashion statement that will look good when Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian appear with it as a fashion accessory on the cover of the National Enquirer. Tim Cook announces, essentially, that no one in their right mind would use a computer if they could use an iPad (which has had a huge sales drop since the "new, stylish" iOS 7 was released) apparently because he doesn't know or understand what many people use computers for any longer.
The party is over, guys. This company is a lost cause. First, crappy illogical products, and now massive outsourcing is in the wings. Wall Street couldn't pull this type of crap with Steve Jobs because this company was his "baby" and he loved it. I'm afraid the new leadership is psychopathic Wall Street based money grabbers and their pigeons, Tim Cook and Jony Ive. The goal here is simple: Tie that b*tch named Apple down and line up for the gang rape.
