Do resident Libs love Apple?

I still have a Microsoft Zune from 2009, how libtard am I dax?

My dad had one of those and even after they stopped supporting it he wouldn't let it go.

I still use it almost daily 
I never cared for Itunes UI so I went with the competition. Ended up really liking the Zune UI which was actually what was a precursor to Windows 8 OS. Bought a Surface Pro because of that.

Also, this comic makes me laugh:

I am the anti fun for dax, sorry I was not up playing along in your game. Just sad he left the pit for a while and comes back with a neutered version of his old self.

Understandable that Dax hates a company that tries to grow the US economy.  He's triggered so easily these days.  Sad and disappointing but not in the least bit surprising.

Lol, hate?  Nope

[The Big Train]

I don't like any company that does those mean things... So like all of them basically

But in this case the before mentioned companies are some the leaders at trying to paint a different image.

What image does investing 1 billion dollars in the US economy for jobs paint?

Yet you started this hate thread and keep deflecting in it

It wasn't a hate thread at all.

I've definitely seen many San Francisco progressives with flip phones. If I had to rank current SF tech company hate it would be:

1) Google, they're huge, became the symbol of hate via their private commuter buses...generically called "Google buses" even though all the major silicon valley tech companies have them. Still lots of proglibs use gmail.
2) Uber: terrible CEO, terrible culture, they ruin taxi companies' monopoly. So folks use lyft
3) Facebook: Zuckerberg is an easily hateable target. Somehow even his philanthropy is hated.
4) Twitter: Small and relatively harmless but they got a sweetheart tax break to gentrify a shitty neighborhood which is pretty bad.
5) Airbnb: People are concerned with them taking housing off the market plus they had some ridiculously tone deaf ads during the campaign. Still the best lodging option for euro vacations tho
6) The juicero of the moment: whichever dumb tech startup seems to make the most out of touch move in any given week
7) Apple: Should be higher since they're the richest company in the world but I don't think most people realize that plus they are admired for design. probably also helped because their employees never ever ever talk about working for apple so no annoying tech bro brunch conversations featuring Apple employees

How can you know about all the transgressions of the others, and then not know that Apple has parked a quarter Trillion offshore, sues everybody that sniffs their way and uses what amounts to slave labor to assemble their products?

This seems pretty hateful and resentful

Commenting on what people do or don't know or financial facts is hateful?

Fascinating

Your tone is pretty obvious to anyone with a pulse but go ahead and keep deflecting, it's pretty.....sad.

Okay.   Your certainly entitled to your . . . Opinion.


I wonder how many bajillion pounds of carbon the construction of the new Apple Hdqtrs pumped into the atmosphere.   

But it will be touted as a "green" facility.

Why would you care about any of that anyway?  You are pissed they couldn't pump out more toxins than they already did because of the stupid EPA.  This floundering is pretty right now

Apple:  Pursuing the highest shareholder value, the highest profitability while paying the least amount of taxes possible and offshoring the most manufacturing as possible to ensure the highest margins possible. 

They say the right things, support the right causes and Libs love them.

I know lots of conservatives that love iPhones/Apple stuff.
