Tim Cook Gives Apple Megabux to SPLC and ADL
18th August 2017
Via Buzzfeed, here is Apple CEO Tim Cook’s memo:
Team,
Like so many of you, equality is at the core of my beliefs and values.
That’s why I deserved to be compensated $373 million for my labor in 2015 and you didn’t: because I believe in equality .
… I disagree with the president and others who believe that there is a moral equivalence between white supremacists and Nazis, and those who oppose them by standing up for human rights. Equating the two runs counter to our ideals as Americans.
Therefore, people I disagree with politically should have no civil rights. They should be outlaws subjected to any violence that people who agree with me feel like inflicting upon them, those bastards. After all, I made $373 million last year. What did theymake?
Regardless of your political views, we must all stand together on this one point — that we are all equal.
Although not in income. That’s a totally separate question.

It doesn’t matter.
When the AIs take over, your personal income–and you, personally–won’t be worth a Tinker’s damn.
