This will define Tim Cook's legacy.
Absolutely not for the reasons here, though.
Jobs surely rolled in his grave, repeatedly, over Cook's ready "fealty" to an aspiring autocrat.

Correction: it's long past time for ruthless aggression.
In fairness, InfoWars was always a parody site.
True that the logo wasn't rainbow, tho.
America is the most powerful nation on earth, and Americans have become some of the most powerless people on earth.
2/3 of our country disapproves of leadership, yet doesn't believe they have the agency to change it, let alone hold it accountable.
That's a broken, unreliable governing relationship
Situation highlights how America is simultaneously the most powerful nations on earth and yet Americans have become among the most powerless people on earth.
2/3 of Americans disapprove of their leadership....and have no agency whatsoever to change that.
Let's be clear: Iran extended this cease fire by leaving Trump with only bad options.
This is the same headline as last week...and the week before that...and the week before that...

Oh, I'm sure they did. He probably also had add'l income (other than ER). And they might've had some investment losses.
But directionally, I could see how things might've started to look kinda tight in 2020. Not in danger of homelessness, but dumping some larger assets? Seems plausible. 🤷🏻♂️
Don't forget, ER ends in 2005, so for the next several years, our dude is prolly still spending like Dr. Carter.
Guessing it doesn't occur to him until maybe 2015-ish that he should start spending like Cpl. Jeffrey Barnes.
Federal/CA taxes takes half, so immediately we're talking $25M. Deduct agents, lawyers, assistants, etc., maybe $5M?Ranch (w/costs/fees) $3M, property tax over 15 yrs. maybe $2M? Leaves maybe $15M to cover family, ranch, animals, cars, expenses....in Santa Barbara...for 15 yrs.?
I could see it.
Boy, if you think this machine finished the half-marathon in record time, just wait until you hear about this machine called a "car."😂😂😂

"Utter hypocrisy" is a label we'd use for friends and family holding stubbornly inconsistent personal beliefs.
Sitting Supreme Court justices that obliterate the constraints of objectivity and deliberately maintain two standards is something far beyond hypocrisy.
We need to be real here.
It was never Christianity they worshipped...and yet, the media will continue reflexively bestowing benevolent labels on obviously rank political beliefs, like "Religious Right" or "Evangelical wing of the GOP."
...normally on a Friday
...when markets are still open
...and after a bunch of unusually large directional bets have been made
...that turn out to be made profitable
...by the untrue thing the President said
Knowing this, it's increasingly hard to read Roberts' fabricated "absolute immunity" ruling as anything but a hand-in-hand effort with Trump's creeping authoritarian coup.
Perfectly colors the handshake and comment between Trump and Roberts at the SOTU.
"We won't forget what you did" either.
Amazing reporting. Nothing short of constitutional-crisis level shocking.
Confirmation that Roberts does not act - nor intend to act - as an umpire objectively calling balls and strikes. He is a political actor abusing process to manipulate outcomes.
Colors all subsequent rulings...
Surprise! Yesterday's announced "deal" - before the market close, ofc! - turns out - after the market close, ofc! - to be another lie...
Ummm, the trading to be worried about happened BEFORE Trump posted on social media, not after.
Which government's propagandistic social media posts are we to believe?
And when do we all get to go back to the grown ups version of the world?
It's Friday before the market close. So, must be time for our government to oversell an agreement that may or may not actually exist...

It's all a bit, Steve. It's all designed to signal they're gleefully aligned in their allegiance to anti-virtues.
Well, Hegseth's days are numbered because we'll try him and imprison him for war crimes.
But sure, maybe he first gets fired? 🤷🏻♂️
It gets further removed...
6. OK, but at least we are signaling our unpredictability/commitment to our adversaries
7. OK, but at least the $1.5T defense budget increase will rebuild our military
8. OK, well at least that squandered military spending will create MAGA manufacturing jobs...
Sorry, this dude is acknowledging that the vaccines he's undermined would've saved kids' lives?
I hear the resulting combined airline would just be called "Monopoly Airline."

The ultimate "I meant to do that" reaction. 🙄
Brawndo, it's what plants crave.
