What Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Disney and the rest of these quisling billionaires don’t understand

Is that genuflecting to tyranny begets not unity

It begets only a more austere version of tyranny

DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE

Reposted from Axios

SCOOP: Apple CEO Tim Cook will personally donate $1 million to Trump's inaugural committee.

He believes the inauguration is a great American tradition and is donating to the inauguration in the spirit of unity.

Oh seriously give up.

I thought Business might care about a dictator, but then I remembered all of the companies that thrived under Hitler that are still thriving. Look them up. They don’t care about anything but money.

Ew.

I am incredibly proud I do not have an Apple watch, and Apple phone.

Never have, never will.

newmexislosh.bsky.social•50 days ago

Never obey

What’s this “in advance” shit?

roim1945.bsky.social•49 days ago

How about investing in finding the cure 4 cancer instead of kissing the orange butt 4 tax breaks 4 the rich & undeserving greedy scabs. Think what Elon's Trump donations of hundreds of millions could do 4 Operation Smile 4 young angels born with Cleft Palate. Such a fkg waste on a frowning clown.

Probably a child rapist rich guy too.

They only care about their own self interest. Fucking selfish. #NeverVoteConservative

Did he donate to Biden’s inauguration? Curious

Boycott the inuaguration

lauraapollo.bsky.social•50 days ago

WTH happened?

3dognight.bsky.social•50 days ago

I guess they just don’t care. Like legacy media, we, the people, vote with our dollars. Apple is now on the list.

lauraapollo.bsky.social•50 days ago

Agreed. Glad I never invested in the 🍎 hype.

artistjhelm.bsky.social•50 days ago

There is no satisfying greed. Guys who have everything still want more and will fight each other for power. Terms like humanity and greater good are not in their sphere.

"DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE"

Oops...

Too late.

They all have or will soon.

My disdain/hatred for Robber Baron steal-ionaires is rapidly growing to potentially overtake even my disdain/hatred for Chump himself...
And that's accomplishing something.

They can’t stand 45. They know he’s a fascist authoritarian and the USA becomes the United States of Russia on 1/20. They’ll just fly or float away on their private planes and yachts.

sossity.bsky.social•50 days ago

As with the other wussionaires, it’s a protection payment so Don won’t send his Ka$h-led FBI to shut his business down for no reason, & so Don won’t call him a grammar schoolyard name that makes fun of his physical appearance or imperfection.

gpx3.bsky.social•49 days ago

I’m not surprised by the one percent’s behavior.
But why would Anyone Vote for a Billionaire that has taken every opportunity to NOT PAY his FAIR TAX amount, be the right individual to tell the 99% they must get by on LESS?

Gone are the days of corporate scorn at President-elect Donald Trump’s support for white supremacist, insurrection. America’s richest businesses, big banks, the very building of his supporters’ desecration of C-suite, he will be standing on a stage funded by America’s wealthiest corporations.

grammyl.bsky.social•50 days ago

They don’t care… they just want to make more money

ibipelican.bsky.social•50 days ago

Biden DOJ is hitting Apple with antitrust sanctions, I’m sure he’s asking Trump to drop those sanctions.

EXTREMELY disappointed with Tim Cook.

call-151.net•50 days ago

These guys are damned if they do, damned if they don't. Poor reporting by Axios aside, Tim's done a very Tim thing and protected Apple as best he could by ensuring that Axios wrote that he gave the money personally.

call-151.net•50 days ago

Imagine their situation for a minute. The k-hole a-hole they hide from as he crashes their parties is staying at the President-elect's hotel giving him advice about policy. That guy and a rapping toady are going to be deciding gov't spending policy for 4 years.

call-151.net•50 days ago

The VP has close ties to the very people you put a not-insignificant amount of time into avoiding socially. These people could quite literally make or break the trillion-dollar business for which you are a fiduciary.

This ain't easy for any of them. Not that I care an iota, but I can understand.

robinlynn24.bsky.social•50 days ago

Sounds like President elect is running a protection racket. This won’t be the first time he will be getting payments from the rich to “protect” them from tariffs and save their tax cuts. Pay up or he will come after them.

thefascistquestion.bsky.social•50 days ago

It begets fuckin MOOLAAAA! Like the billionaire class gives a fuck about freedom & democracy

tikatoo14.bsky.social•50 days ago

There is no TRADITION in a convicted felon being sworn in as president of the USA.

jacquelinekemp.bsky.social•50 days ago

I'm beginning to think they are buying a seat on the Ark. The rest of us are screwed.

oldenuf2knowbetter.bsky.social•50 days ago

This is like throwing a T-Bone steak to the dog that just attacked you... they're teaching Trump that not only will they easily acquiesce, but he'll be rewarded for it too.

lifeisok4me.bsky.social•50 days ago

Trump getting these people to do this is beyond unsettling. #Apple is a $4T company that can hose the US economy so we have to wonder what true price are WE going to be paying for this …

str8grandmother.bsky.social•50 days ago

what's this about?
thanks

jikiteejones.bsky.social•50 days ago

Facebook has the power to destroy trump. It should have destroyed him years ago.

1stladydi.bsky.social•50 days ago

This is couch change to Apple. Since there are no laws that ask for any accounting of inauguration funds - this is just like slipping $1 million into Felon 47's pocket. Just like gramma used to do with a Hershey's kiss into my pocket.

lifeisok4me.bsky.social•50 days ago

Cook is using personal funds not corporate funds and it’s nothing but legal extortion and/or bribery. Zero accountability.

1stladydi.bsky.social•50 days ago

Gosh! Will he have enough left to get a healthy, satisfying hot lunch?

magafree.bsky.social•50 days ago

Not only that but it provides clarity that these billionaires are every bit the enemy of democracy as Trump and that their continued power and wealth cannot be tolerated if democracy is to survive.

sandraslp.bsky.social•49 days ago

It all started with the Koch brothers & the #KochNetwork. Mercer who financed #CambridgeAnalytica came later. Heritage Foundation is part of the #KochNetwork. They published #Project1980, mandate 1 & #Project2025, mandate 9.📌

FULL TEXT of #KochPlatformof1980 which merged into #Project1980. David Koch ran as VP of the Libertarian Party in 1980 on this platform.

It’s been a long, slow burn for sure. Tragically, the left seems to have slumbered through much of it as the fascists put the pieces in place for what we are now about to experience.

sandraslp.bsky.social•49 days ago

We had control of the House from '54 to '94. We were able to slow down Reagan's corruption,bc things had just started.Reagan's veto of the fairness doctrine(Phase 1 of #CNP) led to RW media(like Fox & Clear Channel) being used as propaganda tools,building blocks of fascism. Votes weren't there to

sandraslp.bsky.social•49 days ago

override Reagan's veto.The greatest EPA corruption scandal was committed by Anne Gorsuch,Neil's mom,who ran a slush fund, was held under contempt by the House & forced to resign.Article follows⤵️

sandraslp.bsky.social•49 days ago

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Neil Gorsuch has led the charge against regulations for clean air & water & helped overturn the Chevron deference.

Think of how many hungry children $1 million could have fed, how many homeless vets could have been helped, how many people ravaged by storms, fires, floods could have been helped! The list goes on and on…..

thedeplorables.bsky.social•50 days ago

It would be a shame if no one watched. Perhaps they should double down and give that to a really worthy cause.
