One of the marketing managers was flayed on a spit. Jeez rtfa!
/s yeah its lame but wygd, quit? In this context I read it as employee morale takes a kick in the ‘nards so go poach some applers or expect bad stuff to happen there next. Both being bad for apple and both the result of some internal chatter.

They were fine when Tim Apple gave Trump a trophy. It's just a distancing tactic.
Ok, for what? Android is just as bad, if not worse. And yes, in including Gaphine and the forks because they’re still built on android.
Missed chance to coin “John Turdus” OP
Ooh good, yes. I was playing on tim apple but maybe john doesn’t even get far enough to be corponamed by the demented rapist.

This is the sort of bullshit that companies intentionally put out to get back good PR. "It wasn't us, it was the shadowy execs!"
It's PR 101, blame nameless people that may or may not exist and you get the good will back on your side as the hatred is focused on people that either don't care or don't exist.
Getting on Trump's bad side can mean an anti-trust lawsuit or an end to tariff exemptions. With billions of dollars at stake, the executives would be negligent to act otherwise.
I mean, this is how I justified tim apple’s participation in the techno bunghole club with the gold-based-corning glass sacrifice. Six months in, get in, throw some shit in the air, get out. Fine, i disagree, but whatever.
But this is nothing. This is just stupid. An EO is nothing. And frankly even the most pedestrian trump watcher knows he’d TACO before losing $1 over “lake fucking america”. So it looks really bad for The Fucking New Guy to pre-cave on nothing that’s this goddamn stupid.
This isn't pre-caving, this is supporting. The government and corporations are working hand in hand to fuck everyone over except their share holders.
