Honestly, the reason continue to apply the name Apple to what "everybody does" is because it gets REALLY strong reactions from people, yourself included which is strange because I normally associate you with being more level-headed.

Apple is an industry leader. If they don't change, nobody will. It's nice to hear how they're trying. It just says the pressure is being aimed appropriately. So don't expect me to stop.

You are right about trade policies, but if I can't change things with a single company what hope do I have to elicit change from their employees in congress?

Finally, I can imagine MANY progressive policies that would elicit similar "who cares about what you think/do" lines from TPTB. I guess we all need to realize that we're not immune from that particular form of arrogance when it comes to our pet "products and/or events" (to quote Krusty the Clown).
