Tech IS politics. Tim Cook manages a company that rivals small nation's economies. He's one of the most effective politicians of the modern age, and Apple pours money into marketing and lobbying efforts. Apple has tremendous influence over governments, and appeals against regulations.
Apple is a political bully and Tim Cook is a liar.

@SomeGadgetGuy @Tooden I *was* an Apple fan for literally 40 years. Tim destroyed that.

Tim is an incredible operations guy, and even before Jobs passed, he was responsible for the regional manufacturing and distribution advantages that created Apple's current golden age.
Sadly, I miss the Apple that was more of a risk taking "visionary" brand. I got off the Apple train around when they switched to Intel chips, but they used to be a fun nemesis. Now, they just feel like a monopolistic anti-consumer bully.
