It is commercial business - not activism. Take it elsewhere.
You're right. Fuck human rights and business ethics. If Apple wants to use conflict materials sourced from shithole countries that use slave labor then they should do it so that our products are a little cheaper and Apple can get more profit. The only thing I want Apple to be responsible for is the shareholder and I don't care how many children suffer and die to do it.
Should I assume /s is implicit in your post? That looks like so, but English is not my first language hence don't want to make the mistake of assuming something on my own.

Extreme sarcasm in my reply.
Thanks for the reply. That is what I thought!!! Nice to see a different stance on the same thread, with majority stance being different to yours. But I am in the other camp - taking moral high ground in few aspects while doing business is a dangerous territory to enter into, in my view. Once you do that, fingers will be pointed on other instances when the company is in a very difficult situation and unable to take the same moral high ground. Apple doing business in china, with china having utter disdain for patents/asking for backdoors/producing knockoffs come to my mind.

Reducto ad absurdem. It's a business. And yeah, some countries are shitholes, as your President said. I dare you to go move to Sudan or Haiti or whatever. I vote these crap proposals down with joy every time.
Apple shareholder / voters and Apple customers are not really the same. The shareholders may not want to spend money on this now but it is quite possible they don't possess the long term vision that Apple board members have.
The Apple board recommended voting against this measure. Looks like the board and the shareholders saw eye to eye on their vision.
Actually the board voted against it because they were already doing it and a committee would be a waste of time and money.
You don’t need a committee to tell you what you are already doing. Sure there are things Apple needs to work on but they are already a trillion miles ahead of the competition.
