“Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to donate $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration fund, reports Axios. The donation will be a personal donation directly from Cook rather than a donation from Apple”

I’ll defend Apple as being the least shitty of the big tech giants but I can’t defend this.

What's funny (or sad) is that 100 years from now this will be looked at the same was as when Ford or IBM supported the Nazis. Their business won't hurt long term and Tim Apple will be long dead.

IG Farben, Krupp, Thyssen, Boss, Porsche and the list goes on and on and on. Fuck I suspect that even my own grandfather "had stripes" (slang for collaboration with Nazis without yourself being proclaimed nazi) and he even fought them during the invasion of Norway.

History doesn't repeat. It rhymes.

Buckle in kiddo it's gonna be a fun couple of decades if we survive it.
