      This is also why I am gradually untying myself from the Apple ecosystem, and all of propriety/big tech; especially US based.

      When push comes to shove capitalism will not resist fascism. They will ignore all stated virtue signals and choose profits.

          Those were always a virtue signal. Every C suite, board member, and senior executive of every multinational are anointed by the plutocracy. Probably for every billion dollar company. They know how to play ball and the only allegiance they hold is to the almighty dollar. It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.

      No. It’s a tip. Thanks to the supreme court, it’s not illegal if it’s a tip!

      You can’t give someone a million dollars to bulldoze that orphanage. That’s a bribe.

      But it’s totally legal to give them a million dollars after bulldozing the orphanage, as a tip!
