Not your usual fare, Duchess. A lot of casual stuff here. Fire someone without notice? I've done that myself. You do not give his reason. Charity is a personal thing. Maybe his father was poor and the church turned away from him. Culture of fear? IF a wimp is in fear, he can quit. Fear of what? Getting fired? And, What in the world is imitating police? Maintaining a sweatshop....here again, if folks feel overworked, they quit. Same thing for 'verbal abuse'. Oh, please....

What are the facts behind denying stock options? Did they have a right to the options? And why get personal about paternity, ...AND< are you aware of Hunter Biden denying paternity as well?

And, what is the app store being guilty of censorship? You leave that one just hanging out there. Not been argumentative, but I wish posts could be meaningful and to the point and give something to be argued. These may well be, but you leave no explanation for each one. What is a man to do?

Liberal pigs are never satisfied. It used to be people were thrilled with:

1. Thousands of great paying jobs created by Apple corp. and all the suppliers to same.
2. the huge increase in the local tax base, as well as state and federal.
3. a bevy of great products introduced to society.

not any more., Lib PIGS want oh so much more.

While that obnoxious African Elon Musk was ranting on the media about how he can't force his workers to come to work in the middle of a quarantine and telling us how he will move to Texas, another CA company has quietly released an inexpensive car that never needs to be fuelled.

Apples actively shuts down competitions with lawsuits, forces out third party manufacturers by requiring "special" headphones etc and is otherwise extremely obnoxious. I don't like Apple products. They are over priced toys for rich people.

Not to pick on Duchess, but to point 2 of her points,
Early on, my boss verbally abused me. I thanked him years later, as I worked that much harder, acquired more clients than he had let’s call it tough love. Later he complemented me, and now he works for me.
But the best comment, ‘ “ fire people without notice” is a doozy. If I notify an employee that I will fire him at the end of the week, he will have plenty of time to scuttle and undermine my biz from the inside. If Jobs had done that, we prob would not have a magic MacAir!

What if AOC and our libs REALLY go after Jobs or Jeff Bezos? Just yesterday afternoon I ordered a remote TVcontrol from Amazon. It will arrive today, it cost $12, free delivery. Please please please do not mess with these people they make our lives what we have, and lives to which our fellow citizens aspire

What the leftist guerillas are doing is what they love to do most - destroy people who are productive for themselves, their employees, employees in supply companies, and all 3 levels of government with taxes.

in other words, killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Check out the wealth tax, AOC and Bernie (biden quite irrelet) are quite serious. This would be killing the goose. We need rich people, liberals need to hold their nose and choke that down

Thee leftists can tolerate a rich person... as long as that person is *connected*, if you know what I mean.

Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Hilary Clinton... FILTHY rich. 🤔
