Okay, well how many businesses do you own, or have owned?
Sure, if your parents or grandparents have some vision and made decisions for their future generations, not just live for themselves in the moment.
I can't believe I'm reading this.
Just need to vote the bums out. The USA has done it before and will do it again. God bless America but wake up and organize FFS. Apologies in advance if it continues to turn to custard for a while under the temporary Trump "thing".

Okay, well I have to rephrase my question.
Do you mean to say that only people that own or have owned businesses, can judge the quality of Trump as a businessman?
That's true, but fortunately they are no longer in power.
That's not clever, no matter what you may think of your own writing.
Just describing reality.
Apples ceo embeds a culture of inclusion as a member of a minority group. It should be applauded he wants to ensure equality. It’s equally a pity he doesn’t care about anything else meaningful. For example privacy lip service and one of the last companies to stop using leather. Still you can’t damn a positive action simply to express frustration at other causes that may mean a great deal to other people but don’t hold priority for Apple.
I dont need to own a casino to know going bankrupt once might be bad luck due to outside influences, but going bankrupt 6 times is a pattern and is at best stupidity but at worst immoral disregard for others and narcissism. Support of such is the same.
Yes, here I am, reading it. And your point is... what, exactly?
America did wake up. They woke up in 2024. Maybe not to your liking, but they did vote the bums out in November of 2024.
It makes it not a new thing and eventually becomes a meme.
Well of course, you are correct, and I assume many of us here have known this fact for a long time.
Expos of 1969's post above was to the effect that because it's old news doesn't change a fact. Arguing that it's "old news" and has become a "a meme" is clearly misdirection.
Antennagate is old news too. And that has become a meme. You can bring up that trump started with inherited money until the cows home but that first mean it’s not a meme at this point in time.
To quote your signature line, "You may not like what I have to say, but I'm glad to be given the opportunity to say it"
Facts are facts, and that is all I have to say on the subject.
Facts are facts, and that is all I have to say on the subject.
Typical you did not address the counter argument instead you want to play semantics.That's not how math works.
Uh...yes it is....When something is on average, that means half or a little more. Average looking guy, average base salary for a job etc. Something cannot be average if its only 1 thing.
An average base salary for an entry level developer does not mean just one job in existence has that salary. It means ON AVERAGE which is around the 50% mark.
To calculate the average base salary on 6 companies, lets assume these numbers are in thousands.
(50+51+60+48+45+62)/6 = 52
That means 4 out of the 6 here are at or below the average salary. You cannot have an average where the majority is WAY above it. That is not how it will get distributed. I have a doctorate in math....
And this is a binary situation instead of something as wide ranging as a salary. Either you do or don't perform these illegal activities. So an average of the sum of Yes vs no responses to "They are performing discrimination to where you need this additional DEI program" means that more ~50 of them are on the Yes responses.
(1+0+0+0+0+0+0+1+0)/9 = 0.22
Guess what, the average here is not "Yes" if the majority of them are the "No" responses. The average calculation will need to be closer to 1 for the statement to be true. In this case, the companies on average are NOT doing this activity you speak of.
This is getting way into semantics and not the point of the conversation.....when you say something is happening on average, then it more than just one or two occurrences. So again, where are the massive amounts of news articles that on average businesses are performing illegal activities?
