Apple is once again running ads on the social media platform X, after the company previously stopped all advertising on the website due to the presence of objectionable content on it.
How quickly most companies have walked back all of the “moral” stances they have taken over the last few years, all within just a few weeks of the political winds changing, should be a lesson to everyone that there is no such thing as an ethical publicly traded company.
They will do what they think will make the most money for the shareholders, no matter what. If you want them too “pay”, the only choice is to stop giving them money.
If anyone ever pays any attention to a company’s posturing and dewy eyes they are truly naive. It is just pandering at best. It is why I want them to be honest and cut out all of the “We celebrate group _____” and all that and just be honest. “We want to increase our stock price by 5 cents.” The best they can be is neutral. A small private company can be positive though.
