Oh good, I can keep my Apple stock

deetsupreme.bsky.social•1 day ago

Microsoft doesn’t seem to be caving either (yet?).

Not until it benefits them financially.

Apple giving 1 million to the coronation isn’t exactly what I’d call “having a backbone”

vanlinglemungo.bsky.social•1 day ago

Actually wasn’t Apple, it was Tim Cook individually who paid tribute to the incontinent malodorous convicted felon and adjudicated sex offender. It’s fucking despicable, but at least it wasn’t our (shareholder) money.

Tim Apple 😂

He's a massive disappointment.

andrewlevesque.bsky.social•1 day ago

I certainly hope so...after forthcoming protest, perhaps some will reconsider their reality...

amandahb6.bsky.social•1 day ago

Call me cynical, but Apple and other large businesses will do whatever they think is financially prudent. I don't think they have human interests at the heart of their decision-making.

Correct, it is the shareholders that held these two corporations accountable!!!

skobeloff.bsky.social•1 day ago

It is cynical, it is also accurate, but at least for once they are doing the right thing... for now.

John Deere, too.

angiedev.bsky.social•1 day ago

Still, I'm not going to buy anything from Apple until they move out to Europe (or US administration changes)

We have a backbone, so do our clients. We sell the world's best jeans to anyone.

Thank you

everocks.bsky.social•1 day ago

Only if we demand it

theversionx.bsky.social•1 day ago

Let's be fair, the shareholders rejected it, not the corp. If they had a spine like Costco, it'd never be up for a vote

strongasboar.bsky.social•1 day ago

Wasn't the big guy of Apple in like the front row of the inauguration? I struggle to think of him as the good guy. The corp likily just doesnt want to be boycotted after what happened at Target.

In Apple's case, it was shareholders that voted this shit down. Same thing happened with John Deere. Power to the people.

Winning strategy for Apple and Costco. I am in the market for a phone and have always bought Samsung ...until now. I am buying Apple.

aliceking.bsky.social•1 day ago

I am suddenly proud to be using an Apple phone

thegr1d.bsky.social•1 day ago

Don’t be! They steal from their employees. They are -A1 Grifters

aliceking.bsky.social•1 day ago

At least they are not bowing to king daddy dumpy pants.

That is a start….

Lol, Apple doesn't have a backbone. The shareholders do.

Apple still gave MILLIONS of dollars to Trump, and agreed to stop with the DEI. Only the shareholders helped you stop this.

Not Apple.

bonjohnson.bsky.social•1 day ago

I was so glad to see this.

fatimahijabix.bsky.social•1 day ago

Now TIM APPLE better watch out 🤣😎

I’m going to go out of my way to use #Costco even though it’s farther than other places.

phdiamond.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trash

skobeloff.bsky.social•1 day ago

Didn't apple rename the Gulf of Mexico too?
Doesn't sound like much of a backbone if so.
They are also famous for being sued by governments for doing really dodgy shit, repeatedly.

desgood.bsky.social•1 day ago

To be clear able wanted to end DEI, the shareholders voted against the proposal. I was one of them. I dumped my stock after voting. I was so disgusted and thought they get what they wanted. I am glad they voted to keep DEI.
