It will be interesting to see if Mr Apple has more spine than Mr Amazon, who acceded to Trump's demand not to show customers how much the tariffs were costing them.

My feeling is that these guys who showed up to the inauguration of a self-professed "dictator on day one" might be a little light on backbone, if not moral fortitude.



"It's our best moral position ever, with 110% more wealth extraction over our previous models. We know you're gonna love it."


I don’t think it has anything to do with backbone or fortitude. You can’t fight city hall.

Neither Bezos nor Cook has an army (or a CIA). Trump does. They are not playing the same game.

All private wealth, and businesses, and cash flows exist only at the pleasure of the state.
