Tabulation of Apple shareholders' votes to follow. Apple board about DEI:
“Apple has a well-established compliance program and the proposal inappropriately attempts to restrict Apple’s ability to manage its own ordinary business operations, people and teams, and business strategies."

Stefan Padfield from right-wing National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) called for "abolishing DEI" at Apple, saying "DEI is out, merit is in."
Apple shareholders: DEI is in.

Merit was always “in”. The goal is to hire people who are competent - and can also treat the people around them with respect.
i.e., not “entitled” assholes.
He needed a special dispensation to hire new joint chiefs.
No one should give Tim Cook any credit. He attended Trump's inauguration and donated $1M to Trump's inauguration committee.
He's not one of the good guys. He's a techbro/oligarch just like the others.
Apple shareholders voted todaay to uphold Apple's commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

Did they forget who the Republican Party’s biggest donors are?
Who do they think they are?
Communists?

Tim Cook needs to be a force for good in this world. Apple has some things to atone for, and this is a step toward forgiveness.

"We're on your side, but we'll look like we're on theirs"
Hell no.
I don’t know what to do with that. If you’re not firmly and consistently opposed to trump, then you are essentially on his side
I know. Grasping here. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. He doesn’t rule with an iron fist like so many others.
The far-right haters made their plea,
"Drop DEI, let bias be!"
But Apple, Costco, Delta, too,
Refused to let exclusion rule.

Tim Cook gave $1M to Trump's inauguration committee.
He isn't one of the good guys. No points.
You know, the ole southern strategy and making things abstract bs.
Someone tell her what DEI stands for. OMG these people are clueless !
Any of those want to tell the billionaires to pay their taxes and get their mitts out of our pot of $$?
👍🏼
Will they please correct the single man's envious dreams and make it Gulf of Mexico again
If Congress passes a bill it will still be chicken shit but one man?
