To bastardize George Carlin, it's a dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.
Again, the Apple corporation has done more harm to the Earth and society than almost any other entity in history. I don't make that accusation lightly and I have very little sympathy for anyone who had deluded themselves into believing that they'd never get eaten by the beast they raised.
Hyperbole much? More damaging than Union Carbide? DuPont? Exxon? BP?
I think you may have made that accusation lightly, or at least without careful consideration.
You seem to have missed it last time so I highlighted it for you.
When you're that close to the top, the lines of delineation get a little fuzzy but in short, I don't think Apple gets a pass because they might have killed a little less people than British Petroleum.
You know what I mean though. A "dream" job.
I dont understand how anyone can blame the workers and not the fucking corporations exploiting them.
Unfortunately it's more likely that people are going to get burnt, Appl is going to get out of it just fine 😠
