I guess it was that or a blow job.
It’s time to boycott Apple
I've been doing that for decades, the last apple product I used was an Apple ][e. Couldn't resist that sweet Oregon Trail action at the time.

Tim Apple*
I’ll defend Apple as being the least shitty of the big tech giants but I can’t defend this.
You can defend settler colonialism?
Way to go, Tim Apple
$1 million seems to be the going fealty price for these people.
What I'm curious about is, according to the article, Tim Apple is donating from this own money and won't be donating Apple's money. Why make it a personal donation and not a corporate one?
While others are donating as companies (don't agree with this either but different subject), none are doing it as a personal donation. As the face of Apple, he won't get far claiming that it doesn't reflect Apple as a company, so why not just m make it corporate? Unless it's for tax reasons?

Typical CEO tribute to the newly crowned King of the United States for some tariff exemptions.
iClass-traitor.
He's the CEO of Apple, my guy. He's serving his class
Steves wept.
Between Tom Clancy and Steve Jobs rotational corpse energy reclamation may just save us all.
What a little bitch..
You best start believing in technofeudal distopias, you're living in one.
That's probably 2% of their holiday bonus!
It's from his own money, not that it makes things any better.
Yes, not really better at all. These donations are all symbols, not meaningful except as a show of obeisance. So we should interpret it along the same symbolic parameters.
It's being framed as a personal donation because Cook is acquiescing to Trump's pending authoritarian takeover, but wants plausible deniability that that imputes to Apple. But since Tim Cook is the one acquiescing and he leads Apple, it's indistinguishable from the same thing. It carries the same message: Apple won't get in your way, do what you will.
