Apple CEO Tim Cook intends to continue lambasting U.S. immigration policies and other issues that trouble him to avoid falling into an “appalling silence.”

Cook outlined his views on when CEOs should protest government policies during a Monday evening appearance at a business conference hosted by Fortune magazine.. His remarks came a week after he condemned the Trump administration’s since-reversed practice of separating children from parents accused of crossing the U.S. border illegally in an interview with The Irish Times.

If he had dodged the politically charged subject, Cook said he would have been cast into “the appalling silence of the good people category and this is something that I never want to be a part of.”

He’ll probably still use it even though (per the article) he supports cutting the US corporate tax rate.

He is such an idiot to think that most folks care or are impacted by what he thinks is important.

If he is making special concessions to the PRC in order to get cheap labor for Apple products, he is a hypocrite as well.

Ask your fellow liberal loudmouth over at Starbucks about "speaking out" and the 150 locations he is having to close.

When he announced that his penchant for buggery was a gift from God, I walked away from Apple products.

Homosexuals can’t help themselves with their attention seeking disorders.

“I’ve never owned an Apple product and never want to.”

They are over rated and over priced.

He better take a careful look at what happened to Intel CEO.
My very internal sources say he was forced out and the mistress thing was the easy way to do it.
They have been trying to get rid of him for awhile.

I’m sick of hearing about corporate social responsibility and sjw crap. Why alienate a portion of your customer base? To feel smug?

“he condemned the Trump administration’s since-reversed practice of separating children”

Wrong AP, it was not Trump’s policy.

Cook is homosexual, so that would not work in his case. “Protected class” on top of that.

What, AP start telling the truth? What next; will they finally vet Obama? About as likely as being able to control a volcanic eruption with technology.

Why shouldn’t he be able to express his views publicly?
