Well, Brits do know a thing or two about land grabs.

Who cares about his opinion. If he wanted Apple to do better than he should have stayed with the company. It is easy shouting at the sideline!

You cared enough to comment on his opinion.

WHO CARES what this guy thinks? Why does the media (including AI) give him all of this attention? What has he accomplished since that gives him credibility? Seriously…

Yeah. Same with Jonas Salk. What did he do after inventing the Polio vaccine? Nothing. He's a fucking loser, just like Wozniak.🤦‍♂️

Had Spotify premium for my daughter, canceled it last month and switched to YouTube Premium - music and ad-free youtube for about the same price. Got charged again this month for Spotify. Turns out you have to hit cancel on 5 different pages to cancel Spotify. They are worse than a timeshare company. They are scum, will never go back for any reason.

If those politicians are suggesting that each and every US company stop trading with China then they really have no clue about global trade. The Chinese will certainly retaliate and call in the huge amounts of US Debt that they hold. What then GOP? That act alone would guarantee that the USA defaults on its debt repayments. That would plunge the world into a very deep depression. These people really do need to be taught about the laws of unintended consequences and how they apply to the US State as a whole. That said, the human rights crimes that the PRC are doing to its citizens is abhorrent. Much worse went on during the cultural revolution but it is still wrong. I'd like the GOP to clean up its own human rights scandal first. Denying US citizens the right to vote is a crime against the constitution but they don't see it like that.

You clearly have no idea how treasury bonds work. China can't just "call them in". Treasury bonds are issued for a fixed period, from 1 month to 30 years. If China doesn't want them anymore, they would have to sell them on the open market likely at a steep discount and they would lose money. It would affect China far more than it would affect us. We would continue paying interest on those bonds like we always have and would by no means guarantee we would default (most rates on T bonds are less than 2%). China own only 4% of our debt anyway, and China uses their US bond holding to backup up their currency and keep it weak compared to US dollars to increase the value of their exports.

And, the GOP never denied a US citizen the right to vote. Hyperbole much?
