      She resigned over it:

      That’s integrity, a concept with which Tim Cook is unfamiliar.

      I have no doubt they were told that they needed to contribute 1 million dollars or bad things would happen. It’ll come out eventually.

        Probably long after it’s way too late to do anything about it. Kind of like Woodward’s book about donvict’s first admin.

            Fair point. I think even if the unredacted Mueller Report were to have evidence of donvict raping babies and murdering puppies, I doubt much would be done.

    So, donating to presidents for their inauguration is not new, what is new is these oligarchs in particular did not seem to donate to Biden in 2020. If you’re being generous you might argue that’s because of the pandemic making the 2020 inauguration less of an event, but still plenty of other people donated.

    Here’s a full list of individual donors (not the corporations) who donated in 2020: https://web.archive.org/web/20210111213617/https://bideninaugural.org/brqrthk6dhdn94xx/

    Conspicuously absent is Tim Cook, among others. Also, god bless archive.org cause the Biden team deleted the inauguration page.

      Technically, most smartphones in the world already run Linux because Android uses the Linux kernel
