I think your underestimating how little facists actually care about truth and meaning. They will ABSOLUTELY try to play anything that they like at their nazi events, just like they tried to play Rage Against The Machine at Alt-Right rallies. They ain’t actually internalizing ANYTHING meaningful about the media they consume, they just love the aesthetics.
Love how much this email looks and sounds like a generated way to steal people’s personal information to scam them out of money. Not on the nose at all.
Sorry for your loss. I’ve watched family die and it’s horrible to witness (stroke for my mom. MULTIPLE strokes). I feel you for. BUT I have to say that Steven Jobs had a type of pancreatic cancer that actually gave him an EXCELLENT chance… if he had listened to his doctors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_neuroendocrine_tumor NOW I’m not going to act like I’m a doctor and know if he actually had a real shot but it’s absolutely true that he DID IGNORE EXPERTS in his treatment. AND, Jobs died in 2011. That leaves us a gap of 5 years before Trump got elected the first time and 13 year gap for the second election. There is a lot of time of people stroke Jobs’ ego if he were still around. A lot of time for the power and the wealth to seep into him and corrode any semblance of morality he had left. Jobs was already a NIGHTMARE to work for and if he had lived that would have probably only had gotten WORSE if Apple’s fortune continued going in the direction it has in reality. He already wasn’t a good person, how much of a stretch would it have been for him to bend the knee and kiss the nazi’s ring? Given how much other major tech CEOs have done so already, I don’t think Jobs would have contradicted that trend. BUT this is speculation from me at best, the man is dead. MY POINT is that Jobs was still a piece of work and was already on the fringes of “can’t trust established experts cause they don’t know better than me.” He would have felt right at home with the anti-vax movement, would have rallied AGAINST mask mandates, etc etc etc. He was already so aligned with the Right, I just don’t see him taking a stand against Trump who could have promised him and Apple company a free “do whatever the fuck you want” pass, as long as he played nice with Trump. IDK, I don’t trust the popular interpretation of what “Steve Jobs would have done if he were he were still around” in this political climate.
"A lot of people are talking about how Steve Jobs would have never given a gold bar to a politician,” referring to the 24-karat gold trophy Cook presented Trump at the White House in August.
Feel like people are giving Jobs a lot more credit than he deserves. We have to remember that there’s a very good possibility that Jobs would still be here IF HE HAD LISTENED TO HIS DOCTORS about treatment for his rare type of cancer that actually have him better odds of survival. He thought he knew better and died because of that foolishness. Kinda sounds like an ego that would serve him well with the republican side of politics, now doesn’t it?
NOW the question is, will they listen? Cause we’ve seen so many times where a company says they’re taking feedback and then do the thing that their audience didn’t want them to do in the first place anyways. Now, of course, they could have more data and metrics that says people don’t care or do want the BS, but I doubt all the companies that DID go hard into AI actually looked at legit numbers, since all the big heads are now saying “why aren’t you people using this stuff?”
This guy is absolutely a grifter and playing both sides so he ends up with “the winning team”, don’t fucking trust his ass.
Sigh no Bernie… No more money for ICE AT ALL EVER AGAIN. Slash the DHS budget, they’re not doing their fucking jobs right at all and don’t deserve anymore leeqay. This is how you know Bernie is also not good enough to meet the moment.
