    So justice should be driven according to who owns something and in what percentages rather than application of the law without prejudice? Do you understand how absurd your comment is? Probably not since you made it.

    Why are they afraid to be viewed as exactly what they are? They should change their name to reflect the truth. "Coalition to put more money in the pockets of a few select developers" would be a much better title.

  • Apple, Drake and others face $750 million lawsuit over Astroworld deaths

    Tony Buzbee is the worst kind of ambulance chasing lawyer there is. This guy would sue his dog if the dog peed on his carpet and he had some money.

    He is the lawyer who recruited 17 women to go after DeShaun Watson and has so far failed to extort any money from him despite running a media campaign.

    And can someone tell me why Apple is on his list of potential extortion victims? What did they have to do with this?

  • White House shot down Intel plans to increase chip production in China

    The chip shortage will continue under Biden administration. Companies will not manufacture chips in US. They cannot make money. If they try to raise prices they need to double or triple the prices. And this route is not working. Democrats have no concept of capitalism. 
    That is some pretty lame BS from you. Do you always make it up as you go along ignoring facts and relevant history.

    How much time do you spend trolling to spread misinformation and politically motivated lies?

  • Apple to pay $30M to retail employees for off-the-clock bag, device searches

    If a company requires an employee to spend their time on something as a condition of employment then the employee should be compensated for that time. That’s not that radical of an idea.
    It’s not as simple as that. It’s not a condition of employment at all, since they encourage you to avoid it entirely by not bringing stuff. From Apple’s perspective, if you choose to bring things to the workplace that you won’t/shouldn’t be using at the workplace on Apple’s dime, they’re not going to pay you for the extra time that you and they have to spend to make sure nobody is stealing anything. It’s not productive work time, it’s not a huge percentage of your work day, and it’s not like Apple is charging for the additional labor involved in monitoring this stuff on their end. It’s still better than just saying you can’t bring stuff, which would be lousy but certainly within their rights. To me a better analogy would be a company that requires you to wear a uniform, and gives you the option of changing into your uniform when you arrive since that would be more convenient for many people, but they aren’t going to pay you for the time it takes for you to get changed in and out of your uniform, if you do it at work, and not compensate those who put on their uniforms at home.

    if you’re getting paid for it, you could presumably make a little extra cash or work a little less if you always brought a whole bunch of stuff that was onerous to search. 

    That said, I’m all for workers getting paid fairly. If I were in Apple’s position, I would have tried to get the workers to agree to a slight across-the-board raise that would account for the average time that a worker typically spends getting searched and might not have initially realized they would be responsible for when they signed their contracts, which seems like it would be the fairest for all workers because it doesn’t disproportionately benefit those who bring stuff to work over those who don’t. 
    You're wrong. It's incredibly more simple than that and it's clear every legal body that has any oversight with this agrees.

    If Apple requires you to be present and participate in an activity, whether you are on the floor selling or in the bathroom farting, you get paid. It's plain and simple. If they demand something of the employees that takes their private time, you pay. Contrary to what you think, it doesn't matter whether or not it is five seconds, five minutes or five hours. 

    I find it stunning that you have made a real effort to picture the employees who want to be paid for a mandatory activity as the bad guys. It's insulting.

    This is the kind f stuff that will lead to a union shop. I'd love to hear how someone who has opinions like yours would like that.
