Apple investigated, took action against alleged sexism at Cupertino headquarters
I am glad Apple is a progressive forward thinking company, both in terms of its products as well as its social policies and willingness to challenge the status quo. Rape culture, male dominance and bigotry are all prevalent in the work place as it is in society generally. Just because they are part of the status quo they shouldn't immediately be defended, on the contrary. Instead these issues should be faced and understood and if required, Acted upon on a personal as well as corporate and societal basis. There is nothing bad about it and nobody should feel targeted by it, it is just progress. There are many 'things' that were acceptable 50 years ago that no longer are and very few people would want to go back to those times (kids were beaten at home and in school, a woman's place was in the kitchen, homophobia and racism was worse, etc). So when people act inappropriately the should be called on it. And cool people self reflect and often understand their behaviour was inappropriate. In this case I don't even know what went down so it is difficult to have an opinion, but generally questioning the status quo is a good thing. Doing nothing is going backwards and I am glad aApple is always moving forward. -
Cupertino mayor accuses Apple, responsible for nearly 20% of the city's tax revenue, of not paying
Knee jerk reactions @ Right Wing Zealot Insider. You are being blinded by your love of Apple and Hatred for the all things government. To argue that just because I earn a lot more than you and therefore pay more taxes than you I should get a better tax rate than you, is what if not non-sensical? Unless of course you (too) belong to the very top tax bracket.
