What the hell is with the "Thank you for your attention to this matter?"

You're shitposting to a global media audience, not politely asking Facilities to restock the vending machine with Snickers bars.

Are you just in full Business Guy Autocomplete mode? A Bigly Language Model?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 25 points 20 hours ago

That bothers me too. It's the business equivalent of " do what I say. I don't want to have to help. Go fuck yourself"

Apple spent millions per year in fines for decades just because Steve Jobs didn’t want illuminated fire exit signs polluting the decor of his Apple stores. Their cash reserves exceed $150bn. They won’t do anything they don’t want to do.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Who does he think he's talking to?

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

His subordinates, who else?

I oppose tariffs, but I'm also somewhat indifferent to the fortunes of Apple.

In British slang if you fart we sometimes say you Trump, or Trumpet. Can we refer to Trumps posts and speeches as Trumpets?

[–] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

I played the trumpet for several years and I love that instrument. It's bad enough that the names coincide; please don't make it worse 😭

Will the US factories have suicide nets too, or is that reserved for Taiwan?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 18 points 16 hours ago

Nah in the US they just let them die

Can someone calculate how much an iPhone would cost if manufactured in the USA?

The more I think about it doesn't trump just want to raise taxes without explicitly raising taxes.

Tarriffs are an articulable cost that can be direclt passed on to the consumer. Income taxes would be something more manageable and the company would need to figure out what to pay. But, Republicans increasing taxes on their donors? Ha!

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 33 points 19 hours ago

But, but, but... I thought the foreign governments paid the tariffs? /s just in case

Thanks God he clarified he's talking about Tim Cook of Apple, for a moment I thought he was speaking about my neighbor from downstairs.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 38 points 21 hours ago

Tim Apple the cook

you know how trolls respond in games or everywhere online? Exactly like this. Did Don forget to breath while writing that run-on sentence?

The goal is fine but that isn’t anywhere near enough to force production into the US

Unless it’s like American rockets that are made in China, and assembled in the US so they can throw a sticker on it

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

How long ago?

"Trump says..." A load of fucking bollocks, to be frank. You can rest assured what he says is the opposite of reality. He's a pathological liar.
