Keeping our morals behind closed doors is what's wrong with the world.
Almost like it's a completely bullshit excuse, like "just following orders".
Crime isn't suddenly okay because it's profitable, no matter how much capitalism wants you to believe it.
It’s like nuclear weapons
Unless everyone gets rid of them nobody will
Being the only one not to “bend the knee” will just hurt you if everyone else kisses his ass
This is apple we're talking about. Not some random company.
There are bigger random companies who are bending the knee like Meta, Amazon and Google
All 3 of those are smaller than Apple. The only 2 companies with bigger market caps than Apple are Nvidia and Microsoft.
Market cap isn’t everything.
Meta by itself has a bigger cultural impact globally
That’s not how companies are measured against each other though. How are you even quantifying the cultural impact? You could have said many companies are bigger than Apple because they have a bigger physical footprint, bigger customer base, larger number of staff, bigger area of operation, larger mass of product or many other things but the fact is when we compare the “size” of companies, we are referring to their market cap.
Nobody should get rid of their nukes. In fact, more countries should have nuclear arms.
Such is life on planet earth.
