Stick to running the company!
It’s funny to see Tim Cook riding in on his civil rights high horse to lecture us about homosexuality, and on the way, he speeds past all the abuses at Apple’s overseas factories.
They are having a birth rate crises. They don't have sufficient new population to replace existing aging population and their nation is in Demographic decline.
