Honestly I am pretty sure this is a bribe to exempt Apple from tariffs. Billionaires care more about their profit than children being harm. It’s the sad truth.
It’s all public spectacles. These people are there not for the money - they are there to make a point, that being that their ideas of authority are what we all must obey.
Preventive obedience, lack of mandate borders, authority not requiring justification, a demand for justification being itself disobedience, implicit trust to authority, and so on.
These are all people who’d be not very respected or listened to in any normal kind of group. They dreamed of getting to a position where they will be, due to hierarchy. And that’s an abuse of any system, so they are hostile to any immunity mechanisms detecting and fixing such an abuse.
So the whole point is in them taking power and showing us all that it’s their rule and their time and it works like some thief feudalism with spectacles of loyalty, spectacles of cruelty, spectacles of stealing and getting away with it and demonstrative abuse of any legal principle.
I respect Cato institute people very much, they somehow manage to say this same thing without my emotion in their various materials.
No, I mean brass: “figurative. Taken as a type of insensibility to shame: hence, Effrontery, impudence, unblushingness.” (DEFINED)
Brash would not have been appropriate (defined as “self-assertive in a rude, noisy, or overbearing way”). Tim was not rude, noisy or overbearing, but he was absolutely shameless!
Such a disgusting display. Most normal people don’t want anything to do with rapists and child molesters, yet here’s Tim.

It’s a bribe in disguise. It’s a tribute and a public spectacle of loyalty. And the top voted comment thinks Tim is playing 4d chess with Trump…
Nothing will improve until these people are eliminated from their positions of power. Stop giving Apple your money.
Not really much of a disguise

All in plain sight. Brass and shameful. Why has this been normalize? 😡
Brash
Trump’s ego.

Huh, TIL. That’s a very uncommon usage in my area.
Jesus short memories.
Apple phones have been built in by Chinese kids in buildings with suicide nets on them since the beginning.
When the fuck did Apple EVER give a shit about anything other than its value?
Maybe in the early days when the Apple II was hot on the market but idk even then. Capitalist are going to do their capitalism.
But Apple cares about children. They were the first to run CSAM scans on their cloud storage and devices.
/s
Trump has no idea what he is doing he just want free gifts like the stupid used airplane
At this point it seems like half of them became billionaires just to be the ones harming the children.
He pretty much says it, right? 'here’s a 24k gold bar… to hold the plaque we engraved your name on
“Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the election, and Google donated $1 million to the inauguration fund”
Apple’s Tim Cook donated $1 million personally to Trump. Not Apple Inc, Tim Cook. And now he’s donating this as well. These are not the same.
