I will oppose Apple!
And, I’ll get my FRiends to oppose Apple!
And, they’ll get their FRiends to oppose Apple!
We’ll boycott Apple!
And where are you going to go? Microsoft has already had the same policy for ten years. . . So have most of the computer companies.
There were TEN TECH CEOs who signed that petition to Indiana's Governor along with Tim Cook . . . but the MAIN STREAM NEWS MEDIA latched onto the fact that Apple's CEO signed onto it because anything Apple does garners headlines and Internet CLICKS. The number of posts on this issue on FreeRepublic show exactly why that is the case! Not one of them has mentioned even one of the other nine companies who also signed the petition. MICROSOFT's CEO signed the petition. YELP's CEO Signed the petition, GOOGLE's CEO (Android) signed the petition. Those were three of the ten signees on Friday. There are more. . . and even more signed the petition on Monday.
Money going to Microsoft is going to pay for the campaign for gun control.
We are damned no matter which way we turn with the Liberals in charge of these companies. . . and those who are entitled to a large percentage of the profits. . . and perhaps even more important those who control the flow of information about what occurred.
Kruschev was absolutely correct when he said "You will sell us the rope we will use to hang you," unaware that it was a longer term statement and the USSR would not be around to be the hangman, but the amoral combination of government and Wall Street would inevitably lead to the destruction of our system. . . all in the name of preventing protecting the profits of the BIG businesses from competition and from failure. "Too big to fail" anyone? Government management mandating business policies? All of these are tyranical intrusions of government into business but are also forms of government sponsored anti-competitiveness that actually protect bigger businesses from the competitive threats of smaller business that do not have the resources to implement them.
