  • Trump's new China trade deal is still bad for US business & consumers

    Who pays a tariff fully depends on whether there is a substitute supplier or buyer.  The columnist confidently declares buyers pay for tarriffs.  Yes, they do, if there is no alternative supplier anywhere on Earth who sells a comparable product.  But most products do have alternative sellers.  This means the seller must pay some of, or in many cases, near 100% of the tariff.  Don’t take my word for it (two degrees from leading universities in this subject).  Ask ChatGPT.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook addresses workplace issues, pay equity, more in all-hands meeting

    Pay is subjective at best. Gender gaps can exist for a number or reasons that are not discriminatory. Would it be fair to pay one woman with no outside obligations to limit her availability for professional development and who invests more of her time on projects for the company the same as someone who can only do the bare minimum? It even that. 

    That is the beauty of sales positions. They a general performance based pay and you pay your own way. While unfortunately favorites might get perks like being handed manager referrals, You make your own path via your actions. Want more money, do more work. 
    Will you listen to yourself?  If it's a gender gap, it's discriminatory--because of gender.
    No, discrimination is one of dozens of variables that should be analyzed statistically in order to determine the cause of the gap.  Tenure, education, performance are a few ideas to get you started.

    A gender gap does not imply any particular discrimination.  In fact, discrimination may be going either way.  It is possible the gap should be larger.

    I for one am glad that my pay is based on my contribution to the organization.  It's not based on my race.  To base pay on race alone is abhorrent.

  • Huawei cloning Apple parts, rewarding employees for tech theft

    I'm amazed that companies do business with China and then can say they are surprised by theft with a straight face.  No, you are incompetent to even sit down with Chinese forces (it is basically all military owned).
