Comment on Judge Rules Apple Senior Executive Lied Under Oath, Makes Criminal Contempt Referral

Values mean nothing, principles are rational ideals, values are aspirational. They aren’t “straying from their core values”. This is who they have always been. Everything else was public relations. When faced with moral decisions, they will lie for money. Period.

It’s literally not possible for a billionaire to have any “core values”. It’s an oxymoron.

    After he acquired it all and spent decades doing illegal stuff for which Microsoft received extensive anti trust fines. Lets not kid ourselves here is trying to redeem himself for his prior billionaire behaviour and it often comes off more as “greenwashing” than actually helping people.

    Right, fuck people for trying to do good if they’ve ever done bad things in their past.

    Nah man, that wealth is stolen from tax payers.
    
    I hear you, and I do like that billionaires like bill gates and buffet have pledged to donate or what not…
    
    But my point still stands… they had no core values when they accumulated the wealth. Now gates is retired and bored and controls more wealth than a small country.

    And customers, and (probably most of all) employees.

    Bill Gates deserves the guillotine exactly as much as the rest of them.

    Right, supposedly good things like making all research they perform freely available, providing billions in grants for healthcare and agricultural development, providing billions in funding to organizations like the WHO, etc.

  That’s not true at all. Notch valued having a candy wall, and he made good on it.
