Imagine being CEO of one the largest corporations in the US, and prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.

    Such a disgusting display. Most normal people don’t want anything to do with rapists and child molesters, yet here’s Tim.

      Honestly I am pretty sure this is a bribe to exempt Apple from tariffs. Billionaires care more about their profit than children being harm. It’s the sad truth.

        At this point it seems like half of them became billionaires just to be the ones harming the children.

        It’s a bribe in disguise. It’s a tribute and a public spectacle of loyalty. And the top voted comment thinks Tim is playing 4d chess with Trump…

        Nothing will improve until these people are eliminated from their positions of power. Stop giving Apple your money.

          It’s all public spectacles. These people are there not for the money - they are there to make a point, that being that their ideas of authority are what we all must obey.

          Preventive obedience, lack of mandate borders, authority not requiring justification, a demand for justification being itself disobedience, implicit trust to authority, and so on.

          These are all people who’d be not very respected or listened to in any normal kind of group. They dreamed of getting to a position where they will be, due to hierarchy. And that’s an abuse of any system, so they are hostile to any immunity mechanisms detecting and fixing such an abuse.

          So the whole point is in them taking power and showing us all that it’s their rule and their time and it works like some thief feudalism with spectacles of loyalty, spectacles of cruelty, spectacles of stealing and getting away with it and demonstrative abuse of any legal principle.

          I respect Cato institute people very much, they somehow manage to say this same thing without my emotion in their various materials.

        “Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the election, and Google donated $1 million to the inauguration fund”
