we'll stop attacking apple.
apple acts like it's GOD and we lowly peons are lucky to be able to buy their overpriced crap.

fact is apple could make ALL their stuff in the US, sell it at the SAME price, and only take a 30% hit on profits.

they don't.

they don't care about the working conditions where work in their name is done (my job at apple support was a living hell)
they don't care about conditions at their factories
they don't care about he US economy.

they
don't
care

so they are a valid target.

same with the thugs. Yes there are dem's who are lyers, cheaters, thiefs, etc... but democrats don't go around pounding their chests says we're so moral!

When apple stops acting so high and mighty, we'll stop attacking them.
