    Comic by Matt Bors. First frame: woman posts online: “Apple AirPods cost $159, but they can't pay taxes or decent wages to their Chinese factory workers!” Second frame: real-life reply guy pops up; “…you said on an iPhone… Heh, gotcha!” Third frame: (in the past) man by car says “cars should have seat belts?!” Reply guy popping into frame: “Yet you bought one, hypocrite much? Owned.” Fourth frame: (further in the past): serf walking by well carry sticks: “We should improve society somewhat.” Reply guy popping out of well: “Yet you participate in society. Curious! I am very intelligent.”

    (things you did not know...) You inspired one of our members (👀 ) this motto, that he wanted to get on a t-shirt. The t-shirt never came to be, but it seems really appropriate to illustrate your tweet. Have the best holidays, -- Pouhiou

    This was essentially the exchange:

    Me to the gov: Apple's corp gov practices are Waco meets Enron. The labor situation is "blink twice if you need help" Shareholders: Hi Apple we'd like understand the risk to shareholders abt you firing people for reporting crimes Apple: I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG EVER IN MY LIFE

    Hands up any of you that still trust Apple after seeing how they treat their own employees? “A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.” – Dave Barry

    I'm currently unemployed. Apple is threatening to sue me and I have $92,000 in attorneys fees I have no way to pay. I gave up my severance and COBRA. I did this to hold Apple accountable. If you are an Apple shareholder, please vote to audit the use of concealment clauses.

    "Then I recently had a chilling chat with an ex-Apple employee and realised that the stuff we hear is just the tip of the iceberg." I've been hearing coffee chats with me often leave this type of ambiance... first time documented. 🤣 😭 Check out Aral's article & the Small Web!

    if you say “privacy is a human right” but withhold it from your own employees, does that mean you really don’t believe that it’s a human right or that you don’t believe your employees are human beings?

    I’m so glad you’re alive, Cher. The world needs more like you. In Turkish they have a saying: “they shun the person who speaks the truth from nine villages.” Here’s to building villages where it is celebrated not shunned. Please take care of yourself.

    Hey , Can you please stop fucking killing your employees? “I have my integrity, and will continue to have my integrity, because when questioned I have done one thing, and continue to do that one thing: I tell the truth.”

    I told you all I was in the ER on Monday night, waiting for a bed in an ambulance. It's because I died a clinical death, and needed access to life support before the opioid blocker wore off.

    Sad to hear that has shut down . At least he’s recommending a good alternative, with 3 months free for people converting (like me).

    Did someone say pistachio panettone?

    Pistachio panettone, with a slice cut out. You can see the paste and pistachios inside it.
