Correlation does not equal causation.
But I guess “the party of science” hasn’t figured that out yet.

I hope they start with a test, so the most ignorant are sent out first; like the hate-spewers that don't know the difference between communism and social democracy. Don't think any country would accept those, though; so they'd probably just be set adrift on some barge until they end up at the Great Pacific garbage patch.I welcome immigrants. In fact, I’d like to have a program where we send out one native-born spoiled, commie wannabe who hates America, and bring in one hard working immigrant who wants to experience American opportunity. A foreign exchange program.
It’s a renewable resource.Then why are they still selling real leather products.........![]()
Tim Cook: *openly gay man that's spent ~10 years as CEO of Apple, one of the largest companies in the world*He has a platform to talk about this stuff, but he’s an operations guy, and not a complete products guy, so it comes off he doesn’t care about the platform he so proudly uses to shout off the things he appears to care about.
In the developed countries, the pandemic hit minorities hardest, for lots of reasons. And the pandemic has hit older people hardest, and there are plenty of developing countries where people still don't grow that old.What he is talking about? The pandemic hit harder the most developed countries in the world. The infection and death rate in Europe and North America was far greater than in Africa, India and other developing countries/regions.
1. The increase of salaries in China in the last 10-15 years is to a large extent due to Apple.Then maybe Apple should stop running sweat shops in China. You can't act like you want the best for all, and then turn around and contribute to workers being treated like garbage.
They buy from factories that we know aren't treating their people even close to what we in the west would find suitable; and it is hypocritical of them to have one set of standards for their local neighbourhoods, and another for people suffering in other countries.What evidence do you have that Apple contributes to workers in China being treated like garbage?
Unless you are in Russia or China.Glad that Apple want to use some of their fortune and ingenuity to do some good in the world.
Exactly this. Timmy has no problem criticizing the U.S. Government.Nobody is asking them to 'take down' the Chinese government he could speak on human rights abuses that happen there but he won't.
I posted this in the other thread.Is there a more sanctimonious CEO out there? Still no word from Tim on the human rights abuses in China..
And "abuse" wasn't his message to the WSJ, just more spin.Nobody is asking them to 'take down' the Chinese government he could speak on human rights abuses that happen there but he won't.

Apple Warns Chinese Tech Companies Not to Circumvent App Tracking Transparency Rules
Not much we can do about it. In spite of the criticisms Tim Cook has taken Apple to $2T. Personally he has been paid very well. He has money and power. All we can do is criticize him in an online forum and hope the universe notices he speaks from both sides of his mouth. /sforums.macrumors.com
Basically Tim Cook has been criticized for many years, while MR posters try to spin the business dealings with China into criticism. And while everyone is entitled to their opinion, it just seems the universe isn't aligned with this criticism.

It's just an assumption, but I don't think we have the real numbers for such continents/countries.What he is talking about? The pandemic hit harder the most developed countries in the world. The infection and death rate in Europe and North America was far greater than in Africa, India and other developing countries/regions.
So basically your exchange program would turn away a native born American who points out the flaws in their country in favor of an immigrant who has to do hard labour for a minimum wage, no American wants to do, while not getting the same opportunities and rights?I welcome immigrants. In fact, I’d like to have a program where we send out one native-born spoiled, commie wannabe who hates America, and bring in one hard working immigrant who wants to experience American opportunity. A foreign exchange program.
if their primary concern is feeding their children and surviving the day, then no.So migrants come to the USA, discover it’s a cesspool of systemic racism and a gazillion other “isms”, and they don’t think to call their kin back home warning them it’s not really a land of opportunity?
Can’t help stupid leaders with stupid followers who think it’s just a cold.What he is talking about? The pandemic hit harder the most developed countries in the world. The infection and death rate in Europe and North America was far greater than in Africa, India and other developing countries/regions.
So should food, a mansion and a Maserati. But life doesn't work that way.Apple contributes to ‘structural discrimination’ by pricing their products such that only the wealthy privileged can afford them. iPhones should be given away to anyone who can’t afford one to provide equal opportunity if he wants to practice what he proclaims
Shhhhhhh.....you aren't supposed to say that....it goes against the narrative.If America is systemically racist why then are tens of thousands of migrants crossing the US/Mexico border illegally to live here?
Africa is not hit as hard by the pandemic partially due to a much younger demographic, more rural less densely populated areas, a more favourable climate and no culture of putting the elderly in retirement homes.It's just an assumption, but I don't think we have the real numbers for such continents/countries.
So comparing graphs won't help.
They buy from factories that we know aren't treating their people even close to what we in the west would find suitable; and it is hypocritical of them to have one set of standards for their local neighbourhoods, and another for people suffering in other countries.
