MattRosoff Tim.... Always thinking his shit don't stink.

Exactly. Likewise, if you drop bombs to a country, you are responsible for settling down the refugees

Not 12 but 14 years ago

If I build an apartment complex, am I responsible for chaos caused by the tenants?

That's Today's Trend ! ! No one is responsible ! ! The only responsibility left is taxpayers (please note: this does NOT mean billionaires) need to pay their taxes and their parking tickets. That's it, there is no more responsibility ! !

'Claiming credit without responsibility' Isn't that why these same irresponsible tech giants awarded the most conceited, most brazenly corrupt and unqualified prez advisor in US history Ivanka Trump 'Internet Freedom Award'? How much harder they want to fluff the Fluff Lady?

You give people the tools - How they want to use them, should be up to them.

Some people say Tim Cook is the worst CEO on the planet. He isn't that bad, is he?

It's not really chaos, it's fraud and exploitation. Using the term chaos to describe that either indicates that he doesn't understand or that he is attempting to obfuscate the true nature of the evil of big tech, of which Apple is a willful participant in.

The attractive nuisance of 'newsworthy' standards which require what degree of strife to merit coverage?

Fuckin right they do

PARITY: mental health is more recognized as equal with physical health now, Tim, so, precedents from physical health liabilities...

Take responsibility by than selling a $1000 monitor stand? Apple is a joke

Like spouting SJW BS? Blocking apps from conservative social platforms? Assembling your product in China?

Hey Apple ... un mot, cobalt. 😉

the guy speaks more than he executes in action. Still making billions out of the chaos and speaks like he gives a shit. Typical Liberals. Lol
