Do resident Libs love Apple?

[sonofdaxjones]

Some people are just slower on the uptake I suppose. 

[SdK]

Some people are bad at articulating their points as well. I'm guilty of this at times myself.

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

I don't hate it, but my iphone 6 middle button stopped working like 2 months in. So you have to find a defalt app to use and it's been a real pain in my ass. Verizon wouldn't trade with me for a new one either. Super frustrating.

Do you have insurance?

[420seriouscat69]

Honestly _fan, IDK. I'm still on my family plan because it's cheaper for my folks. Work covers my bill, so I honestly don't know much about our plan. That's just what they told me.

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. 

Almost as if they were a giant global business? weird.

Thanks for your input

The point is that unless there is some egregious atrocity by a company, IMHO its impossible to really "boycott" (or whatever) those companies you don't agree with ideologically. I've encountered plenty of conservatives that try to do this with companies they deem too "liberal". Its really impossible because we buy and/or consume so many products that you can't manage to track all of it and you will almost always end up buying products from companies with policies you don't agree with. Cherry picking a big one like Apple doesn't make any difference to me. At the end of the day they make phones that I like and I will continue to buy even though I know they probably do plenty of stuff that I may or may not like, but I realize the same probably goes with the toothpaste or tshirt or car that I buy too. To me its just a futile exercise in a society like ours.

that would be a giant pita - your IT folks at work prolly have a can of compressed air that might help and it can't hurt anything.  If that doesn't help try a little rubbing alcohol or electrical contact cleaner

I (thought) I was more or less tried this route but instead was labeled as being bad at gE and redirecting. Guess the more direct route of making this point that the always straightforward _FAN is the best way. But, we're probably just shutting down dax's fun.

Mostly this.

Libs - Giant, global, tax evading businesses who use 1 notch above slave labor and pay their executives exorbitant amounts of money while sequestering their workforce in self contained insular corporate campuses are okay:  As long as they lean left politically .
