    Yes exactly, you can’t blame the people being laid off, they are just trying to live and I imagine a job at a company like Apple was a dream. I mean you can’t blame anyone who takes that opportunity, the salary, the credentials. The US workers really need to get the union situation sorted out in a major way.

      To bastardize George Carlin, it’s a dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.

      Again, the Apple corporation has done more harm to the Earth and society than almost any other entity in history. I don’t make that accusation lightly and I have very little sympathy for anyone who had deluded themselves into believing that they’d never get eaten by the beast they raised.

        Hyperbole much? More damaging than Union Carbide? DuPont? Exxon? BP?

        I think you may have made that accusation lightly, or at least without careful consideration.

          You seem to have missed it last time so I highlighted it for you.

          When you’re that close to the top, the lines of delineation get a little fuzzy but in short, I don’t think Apple gets a pass because they might have killed a little less people than British Petroleum.

            I dont understand how anyone can blame the workers and not the fucking corporations exploiting them.

            Unfortunately it’s more likely that people are going to get burnt, Appl is going to get out of it just fine 😠

              “Just fine” as they jettison hundreds of people and multiple office buildings (at a loss)

              When their debts rollover into 6x the interest rates, Apple is fucked same as most of these “stable” bluechips
