So deciding not to implement something is now a crime even if your implementation would be faulty. We can never get out from underneath of this madness until class action suits are eliminated. Let's get crazy...Apple had to remove/disable the able to do blood oxygen capability after the ITC ruling and later chose not to settle (license) with Masimo. Knowing that Apple knew how to implement it, had implemented it and could continue to implement it, if someone had a heart issue that could have been identified by the blood oxygen app should they be able to sue because of Apple's decision to not implement in new watches?

Luxury cars typically have more safety features or more advanced ones than basic cars. A manufacturer adds pedestrian sensing with auto-braking to avoid hitting someone who goes in front of or behind the car and collision with them is likely. A person is hit by a car that does not have the pedestrian sensing auto-braking feature. Should the person who was hit be able to sue the auto manufacturer because they chose to exclude this safety feature for whatever reason (price/cost, model differentiation, design limitations, waiting for a major redesign, supply issues, etc). I see no difference.

Don’t bother trying to put lipstick on a pig. The next few years will be bad for everyone. Cook’s relationship with the man known for stabbing his friends in the back will not make any difference.

Well history of the first four years of the Trump Administration proved you wrong and most Americans, via the recent election, disagree with you.  

Trump’s first term was a disaster for the country. The economy still has not recovered. He left us distrusted by our allies, our enemies strengthened and emboldened, and a million dead from covid. There is nothing that Trump touched his first term that he did not screw up beyond all recognition. The term in incompetent at any speed comes to mind. Then he finished with January 6 which was nothing but pure treason. No, history has shown that Trump was a disaster for the country. 

You can blame lots of things on him but the economy crapping out was due to COVID which he did not cause or control. He tried to close the borders to entry, but of course it was challenged in course. He also opened all doors to getting a vaccine developed as fast as possible and this in itself was incredible effort. Crap on the rest of his actions but not these two.

I am tired of the capitulation to T**** (the loser). He’s a criminal. That half of America voted for a criminal makes no difference3 in his criminal state.

When a corporation bows to a politician, it is called fascism, or state-capitalism.
when a political leader determines the winner of an economic sector, it’s fascism.

Um actually ߤ㰟ᆨe has less than 50% of the total votes as of note 

Three points. 
1. Call it what you want, but not working with government whether you like them or not is a dead end road. You work with the tools you have and that includes people you don't like for any reason you want.
2. The election is over. He won, so adjust accordingly just like the rest of us have. In 4 years there will be a different group of candidates.
3. Less than 50%, but in reality every person who chose not to vote agreed to take whoever won so you can count them as well.

Trump is like the manager at work who knows very little and meddles in everything and possible does not like you. The only option is to work around it until they quit, your resign, or one of you moves to a different department. In this case the quitting part is his and it is in 4 years.

What if these so called analysts are making bad predictions in order to drop the price of shares so they can make more money after the announcements when the shares inevitably go up? I know it’s illegal but people who love making money often don’t obey laws.

That is what is going on. Social media has allowed that stuff to be amplified
