Bloomberg reports:
> The measure about Apple’s diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, efforts urged the company to consider abolishing the program because it may discriminate against employees and draw lawsuits. The company said the proposal was an inappropriate attempt to restrict Apple’s business operations and that it already assesses legal and regulatory risks.
It’s not a “donation”. It’s protection money for a fucking mobster goon. You honestly can’t see that?
I do obviously see that but what’s the difference?
Google getting mugged. Google gift giving. Compare the two. Draw your own conclusions about which is voluntary and which is coercive.
If you don’t give me money and I tell the cops to break your door down and beat the crap out of you, is a “donation” if I give you money to avoid that?
Maybe spare us the anti Apple rhetoric.
I guess I’m maybe a little in denial of just how bad things have gotten over there.
