It is not Trump who scares me. Mitch Mcconnell will keep him in line. It is the people who voted for Trump that worry me. A co-worker was in Target yesterday and watched as a man walked up to a black woman and got in her face and said "I bet you're scared now".
Doesn't sound very likely. The story sounds like it was made-up by someone who didn't vote Trump and wants to invent stories to make it more difficult to accept him as our President.
Trump didn't steal this election from Hillary, he won by a FAIR and FREE election. He got elected from Americans people. In July 2016, President Obama said "ANYTHING POSSIBLE"! Get over it people. HATERS ALWAYS HATERS!

So now it begins. You don't believe that it really happened. Because if it really did then you have to begin to be concerned about what you have set in motion by voting for Trump. Soon all those lilly poor white trash people will begin to realize that Trump is not going to do a damn thing to make there situation better. Then there are going to be really pissed off and, look out then.
Read an article reporting that several universities are being petitioned by activist groups to cancel classes so students have a chance to cry and deal with their depression and anxiety issues. Safe places.
Maybe now the Silicon Valley folks will finally wake up and realize that they need to be engaged in politics and government. They can't just put their noses in the air and imagine that they are above all of that.
They are engaged! The problem is that they are engaged on the wrong side. It is all about Justice (just us) with them and to hell with the rest of the country. It is this attitude that pushed people towards Trump.
Frankly there has been much written pre election about various people, especially executives, in the Silicon Valley giving support to the democrats. Honestly you have to wonder about any executive doing such a thing and how out of touch they are with the rest of the world. To put it in simple terms people have had it with the democrats and their elitist attitude towards the rest of the country. Millions of jobs have left this country under Obama and any promises of a better future for American quickly forgotten. Combine this with a War hawk like Clinton ready to go to war with Russia and you have real concerns in the mind of voters.
I've said it before in this thread and will say it again, the left made Trump possible by ignoring the vast majority of America. The fact that so many executives in the Valley supported Clinton just highlights how corrupt the party has become and how out of touch they are.
i agree that California secession is a bad idea and is exactly the wrong kind of engagement.
I'm not sure what you're talking about regarding democrats ignoring the rest of the country. The Republicans have done everything they can to stop democratic efforts to help everyone in the country. A very concrete example is the rejection of Medicaid expansion in so many red states and the refusal to build health exchanges. Obamacare works very well in states that aren't actively committed to sabotaging it.
One big mistake Obama made, though, was with the stimulus package back in 2009. Not only should it have been bigger, it should have been more directly focused on creating real jobs for blue collar folks. The whole thing should have been focused on building things -- roads, bridges, wind farms. I think we might be in a different place if that had happened.

Yes, I suspect we will see a lot of denialism.
BTW -- the notion that Mitch Mcconnell can somehow keep Trump in line is wishful thinking. We have seen that the one thing Trump hates more than his opponents are disloyal allies. Any Republican in congress who says anything remotely critical of Trump is going to find themselves in a world of pain. They are all Trump's b****es now.

I suspect it requires a minimum threshold of empathy and emotional intelligence be exceeded to recognize either of those or even the point I am making here.
That’s code for “Special snowflakes don’t need to grow up,” which is utter nonsense.

You're sounding racist, very intolerant of what you call "poor white trash". I think a mirror talk might do you well before buying in to every real or imagined story that fits your current preconceived views of others who don't agree with you.

And yet some jackass recently claimed that the election was rigged. Or was that 'tremendously rigged'? I forget.
I understand that Trump was a protest vote, and I completely get it. But it would be hard to find a less qualified leader of a nation, and as such the prospects are unsettling to say the least. The guy is charismatic but also unhinged.

IMHO if it wasn't rigged it would have been Sanders running instead of Clinton.
Calling people you don't know names, labeling those you don't agree with, where have I heard this before.......
It’s the modus operandi of the left and has been since the French Revolution, so… you’ve seen it on the left.
Emotions are part of being human, I saw lots of emotions during the campaign on both sides, what is your point?
If you’re driven by them, you’re an idiot. That this even needs to be SAID is a problem.
Again with the insults
Why would YOU feel insulted by that?
what's next?
Did you really just fucking equate a terrorist attack to the most obvious and peaceful of republican processes? Get the fuck out of the country, then. Go live in Vancouver with the rest of the cowards.
as if the election was not really important
Not on an Apple forum it isn’t.
the majority of voters that voted for the Dem
Yeah, ~231,000 votes is meaningless, particularly when all of them are likely to have been fraudulent.
Trump has been at war with Apple since he started his campaign. Of course there's concern and rightly so.
LIKE WHEN THE MEDIA ONLY TALKS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AT THE CHINESE SUPPLIERS THAT APPLE USES, TRUMP USED APPLE AS HIS EXAMPLE BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW AND CARE ABOUT THE COMPANY. For fuck’s sake. And Apple being forced to bring manufacturing back from China (et. al.) ends the first problem anyway. It ends for hundreds of companies. This isn’t a good thing?
…the stimulus package back in 2009. Not only should it have been bigger, it should have been more directly focused on creating real jobs for blue collar folks.
While I appreciate your sentiment, the stimulus should not have existed at all. The banks should have been allowed to collapse, which would have triggered an audit of the Federal Reserve and caused that piece of shit to be burned to the ground. Instead of NEVER ACTUALLY RECOVERING from 2008 (and a FORCED depression is now on the way, which they’ll blame on Trump and ethnonationalism), we would have had a stronger economy and stronger dollar than ever in US history.
IMHO if it wasn't rigged it would have been Sanders running instead of Clinton.
From Wikileaks we’ve seen that Sanders was controlled opposition from the beginning. His date of concession was set in 2015, and he had a formal agreement not to attack Clinton in any way. Remember all the shills who have said that Trump was running just to get Hillary in? LIBERALS BLAME WHAT THEY ARE DOING ON THEIR OPPONENTS. Have for centuries.
When your boss has to tell you to stop arguing over team politics at work, that's a clear sign that your team politics are complete immature bullshit.
Obama was an inexperienced, petty, self-aggrandizing clown, now there's just a different one. Grow the fuck up, America.
The most insufferable people on my FB feed are liberals. I used to be one, so I understand how they hold different views. But I learned as I got older that I cannot justify any and all behavior I feel like engaging in simply because I believe I have the moral high ground. To a triggered liberal, all actions are justified, because their end goals are so completely necessary! No discussion!
This letter is not too bad. But it comes off as passive-aggressiveness from a sore loser. Do Apple employees need to be reminded to stop arguing about politics, and to just do their job?
Read an article reporting that several universities are being petitioned by activist groups to cancel classes so students have a chance to cry and deal with their depression and anxiety issues. Safe places.
Great memo Tim, now update the damn Mac Pros and Minis already!
Seriously though, I think it's a welcome and positive message at a time when many people feel much anxiety over the direction that the country will be heading. Apple and Trump seem at odds over so many issues. Let's hope Trump's more controversial proclamations do not turn into enacted policies that damages any of Apple's/Cook's principles.
The problem is these so call principles need to be damaged. Apple for whatever reason thinks it is well above the law and doesn't need to be held to the same standards as the small fry out there. Their efforts at tax evasion being one of the more despicable practices.
Apple can cloth itself in the cloak of inclusion but all that really does is distract people from their greater sins.
Cook can bull shit all he wants but frankly it is people like him that drove the population to elect Trump in the first place. Their attitude of screw the government and don't pay taxes, their attitude with respect to the production of hardware, their cozy relationship with a nation hostile to the USA, and their funding of leftist politics, only enrages the voting populace.
It doesn't help much that they try to do social good (they have done some good deeds) and at the same time give America a big Fuck you. In the end you end up looking like a truly despicable corporation that tring to buy public favor!!!!!
Well, IMO, both Apple and Trump's tax practices sound like they are legal (I'm not a lawyer). So, if they are using all the tools in the legal toolbox to minimize profit loss, what is wrong with that? It's the government's job to design the toolbox. Trump said he would change policies that he benefitted from. He sees they are idiotic laws, but why not use them to save money if at all possible? Makes sense to me.
It is not Trump who scares me. Mitch Mcconnell will keep him in line. It is the people who voted for Trump that worry me. A co-worker was in Target yesterday and watched as a man walked up to a black woman and got in her face and said "I bet you're scared now". Unleash the hounds. Anyone who is defending any of Trumps short comings or suggesting people just need to suck it up need to be aware the is the type of situation where at some point anyone is fair game for crazy people.
Regarding the idiot in the Target store:

Hillary broke the laws, she knew but she still did it. What Clinton Foundation for, to except under-table money from other countries. She should disqualify to run for president. It is RIGGED for sure.

Unlike Obama with Bush, I absolutely want Trump to fire Lynch from DOJ and restart their half-baked investigation into Hillary's emails and whatever's going on with the Clinton Foundation. Crimes need to be prosecuted, not swept under the rug.
Also, I bet Louis CK, Katy Perry, Jeff Bezos, Mark Cuban, Stephen Colbert, George Clooney and hundreds of other loudmouths in entertainment are REALLY going to regret their vocal opposition to Trump now.
Following one of the most bitterly contested -- both by candidates and their respective constituencies -- presidential elections in modern American history, Apple CEO Tim Cook on Wednesday sent out a company-wide memo addressing employee concerns about what comes next.
What comes next?? Go back to work and make an even better iPhone for next year. Update your product line where things are aging. Make new products that we wil love to use. etc.

“CNN told me so!” Also the Frankfurt School’s teachings are what drive it.
There’s the problem: rational. The left fundamentally can’t comprehend that.
Wiz! Nice. Glad you see it.

And the ideology that says “get rid of all borders” isn’t?
Tolerance is the virtue of the man without conviction. It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
No shit we don’t, given that the left has done fuck all but lie about Trump for two years. I DO like how quickly you jumped on it, though…
Hey, thanks for the racism! We know your purpose now.
