    Who is the rest of us?

With so much renewable sources of wood, metals, and other resources and so much solar power, Apple will be more green than any other large corporation in the world.



    Where is Greenpeace's statement of support?



    I hear crickets.



    I suppose when their money comes from big polluting corporations other than Apple, they are speechless.

    Is that why Medicare is insolvent? Like, hugely insolvent? That's amazingly efficient I guess. Also why so many doctors love having to deal with it, right? :no:

    I think part of the problem is there are so many people hooked on government handouts, they only view government as beneficial, whereas the rest of us just get stuck with the bills.

    Yikes. You guys (and those giving you the thumbs up) are just making your own facts. There's no law against it, but it's kind of a shady thing to do.

    The simple fact is -- and you can look this up in spades -- Medicare is solvent until 2030 (at least), and can cover 75%-85% of projected costs from 2030-2050.

    And here's the additional fact that's going to get all your knickers in a twist: what made this possible is the cost reductions arising fm the Accountable Care Act!

    :lol:

    There are lies, d@mn  lies, and statistics.  It's easy to declare anything solvent when one has their own money press and one can change the rules (laws) at anytime!!!!  I will believe Medicare is "solvent" when among other things Medicare reimbursements are the same as what I pay for the same procedures.  In other words uniform costs for the same procedures and prescriptions.

    Greenpiece is concerned primarily about the west, where where the standard of living is higher, where most of the people are not living at survival mode where are you can afford to care about the environment, if you want to care about anything, keep your eye out for a Canadian company Northern Dynasty Minerals, that wants to build a gold mine at the headwaters of the worlds largest salmon fishery at Lake Iliamna in Alaska, the annual take in revenue per year as a food source is way more valuable than a mere gold mine.

    Apple or should I say Tim Cook and others within Apple, have done well in East Asia from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China, Apple Corporation probably are the best in recent times at negotiating through all the day-to-day business emergencies that come up in that part of the world. Which seems gets overlooked by Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times. 

    Tim Cook, and whoever else he has working for him, would make really good Ambassadors, or Secretary of State.

    Love how delusional the right wing people are when it comes to "private companies care about forests." They don't. It's too expensive to clean up their mess they leave behind. Governments are ALWAYS needed to enforce their environmental responsibilities.
    They also forget that the EPA was formed/created under the Nixon administration….. Crickets.
