@ewos1986 Infinitely.

Put another way, if you had $50,000 in annual disposable income (after tax), Apple’s $1m would be like you donating 41 cents… and issuing a press release about it.

You make 1- 200 dollars a day, this is yearly charity of a quarter. Or a buck.
Apple gave Trump gold bars.

@mattgemmell If this amount were spent on an R&D project it likely wouldn’t even need SVP approval.
@jripley Which is good, because they’re getting hard to find.

Lot of reposts on this! I feel like I’ve found my people, as I’m on a bit of a journey these days. #FOSS as resistance, an end to billionaires, crush fascism, redistribute wealth. Social justice and equality and privacy for all. Kindness, but mind the paradox of tolerance.

@mattgemmell And yet, when it’s for Trump’s inauguration fund, it does speak louder than “just” 0.3% daily profit. -

@mattgemmell at least a little bit... Or everyone needs to start to value artists as least as much as they value pastors and pizza delivery people.

@mattgemmell in Chile, our dictatorship in the 80s created Teleton, a TV show to gather money for disabled people (in Chile there is no public rehab intitutions). The big companies are the big heroes: giving millions while saving other million in taxes. Of course, mid-class people end paying the most part every year.
