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.
Some say it's racist to not provide power bricks with your phone and force the disadvantaged to make an extra purchase.
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
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*
MR-warrior: He's not qualified to speak about what Apple will do to fight systemic racism and inequalities.
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.
1. The increase of salaries in China in the last 10-15 years is to a large extent due to Apple.
2. People in China love to have jobs that pay salaries.
3. What evidence do you have that Apple contributes to workers in China 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.

Exactly this. Timmy has no problem criticizing the U.S. Government.
I posted this in the other thread.
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. /s

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.
Cook is a SERIOUS downgrade from Jobs. Jobs would never pander to people.
And "abuse" wasn't his message to the WSJ, just more spin.

Is that it?
The human rights abuses are ok but don't try to circumvent the app store. Dear me..

While I fully agree it’s about time to stop wrapping high tech devices in dead animal parts like a caveman, I haven’t got a clue how that’s related to this article.
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.
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?
if their primary concern is feeding their children and surviving the day, then no.

Can’t help stupid leaders with stupid followers who think it’s just a cold.
So should food, a mansion and a Maserati. But life doesn't work that way.
Well actually food can be gotten for free at least from the US Gov't .
Shhhhhhh.....you aren't supposed to say that....it goes against the narrative.
Also, it'll be a million by summer.
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.
I always find it odd we in the West think we know what's best for other countries or what the people of other countries want.
We think we know what's best for Chinese workers, for people in the Middle East, etc., etc.
Benevolent, wealthy white people swooping in to save the day (again)!
