Whoa I haven’t been on here in a while and forgot how selectively angry people are about seemingly whatever the CEO of a gigantic company does.

@RebeccaSlatkin I'm mad at Cook because I expect better from him, for some (perhaps inexplicable) reason.

I expect this stuff from Zuck, Bezos, et al.

That might be the selectivity you're thinking of. People have already internalized what the other ones do.

@jeff What do you expect? He has shareholders and a board to make happy, not fulfill whatever core of ethics we’ve carefully devised that no CEO of a three point five trillion dollar company is capable of living up to.

@RebeccaSlatkin I'm an AAPL shareholder. I own a not insignificant amount of their stock.

I'm not happy.

Not only is this slow slide into fascism avoidable, with a little courage from those having power, it's also - if one looks beyond the short term - bad for business and our economy.

@RebeccaSlatkin So, what do I expect? A little spine.

A little less bootlicking.

Maybe to not fall all over himself so much burnishing Trump's "business-friendly" brand.

That's not that much to ask. Not as much as, say, the people keeping watch at my local Home Depot in case masked ICE thugs show up (again) to kidnap people and throw them into an unmarked van.
