    Complaining about cell phones when the CEO is paying the next president of the US a million dollars is nowhere near the same ballpark.

      Did anyone suggest it was?

      And for that matter, did anyone complain about a cell phone?

        Honestly, if you don’t understand what’s going on why are you in the discussion?

          Yeah I’m sure you’d rather just sound vague and haughty for a few more turns here, but I’m going to ask you to explain what you think that means. Because to most people I think they read that and see in no way a complaint about cell phones, nor do they see cell phones being directly compared to a million dollar donation. I think what normal people would see there is someone saying I don’t like what a company’s doing so I’m going to do business with their competitor. Which is again entirely relevant to the topic.

          But please spell it out for me as plainly as you can how you are interpreting that line. Cuz it’s a mystery to me. One I’m sure you’re capable of explaining satisfactorily.

            Are you daft? Me and multiple other people have already criticized compairing cellphones to bribing a president of the united states of America. Literally everyone in this post except for the two of you understand what’s going on.

            If you can’t figure that out, I’m sorry. I can not help you. Im not an ELI5 machine. You should be able to understand context.

            I have a feeling you’re white knighting and that’s even dumber. Have a good night.
