- Try to boycott #Google, there are other search engines. #SergeyBrin, co-founder of #Alphabet, which owns Google, #Gmail, #Android, and #YouTube. #DuckDuckGo, for example, has been recommended by a supporter.
- Boycott #Apple Products! #TimCook, CEO and major shareholder of Apple, donated to Trump’s inauguration and is reported to have developed a "personal relationship" with Trump.
- Don’t shop at #Walmart! Walmart, owned by the ultra-rich #Walton family, pays its employees so poorly that many of them are on food stamps.
- Don’t shop at #Target! Target, which has stopped selling #LGBTQ merchandise due to right wing pressure."

Diversität kommt offenbar auch bei Apple auf den Prüfstand

Von Diversität, Chancengleichheit und Inklusion will die Regierung Trump nichts mehr hören. Apple-Chef Tim Cook stimmte Aktionäre auf mögliche Änderungen ein.

heise online · Trump: Apple soll Diversitätsprogramme abschaffenBy Leo Becker

Apple's shareholders have rejected a proposal to end the company's DEI program, @CBSNews reports. The National Center for Public Policy Research had called upon Apple to back off from DEI saying it poses "litigation, reputation and financial risk." Apple management defended the program, though CEO Tim Cook said it might need to adjust aspects of its policies "as the legal landscape" around DEI evolves.

Apple announced today that it will spend $500 billion and hire 20,000 people in the U.S. over the next four years. Now when have we heard that before? A few weeks ago, when the Stargate Project group announced exactly the same amount of money over the exact same time frame. And in January 2018, during President Trump's first term, when Apple promised $350 billion and 20,000 jobs. @mgsiegler writes for his newsletter, Spyglass, about the art of the (old) deal. "My point is that, big numbers aside, I wouldn't read too much into this announcement other than it's Tim Apple trying to use an old trick to get something quite tangible with Trump (perhaps a few things)."
