Let’s find out.
So is Stealing Your Intellectual Property...... It's interesting seeing how many Kowtow to China because they need the latest iPhone, Nike product... The new superficial society.?
Get over 2016?
though i get what you are trying to say, i think the word you are looking for is “liberal”
being the money-loving capitalist that he is, i’d say he is def not a “leftist”
Tim Crook is a Liberal/Globalist.
It's always funny how some call out capitalism as being a bad thing when they're always purchasing the latest greatest iPhone/Computer. I assume they want the Government to pay for everything in the new socialist society.

In that regard he is a liberal
He is a leftist in that he is pro open borders , and pro international identity over identity
Of one’s country. But agreed he’s very much a capitalist unlike lots of the mouth breathing screecher communists were familiar with seeing act up on the streets.
80% of jobs were lost by automation.
Some of the rest was simply obsolete and redundant products and services (eg. VCR repair and film developers).
Article in 2017
And one in 2019 (30 million prediction with 2024 peak rate)
And remember that Natural Gas is killing Coal, not China.
80% of jobs gone by automation.......Not correct.....post some data.
China supporters love cheap widgets, electronics, shoes....
Thanks for posting this video. It's very informative.
And that last commentator was spot on: Tim Cook is the perfect Apple CEO to ride out this Trump Administration, while Steve Jobs (if he were still CEO today) would have self-destructed under a Trump-China trade war.
"Imagine the arrogant Steve Jobs being forced to kowtow to both China and Mad Dog Trump. That would never happen with Steve Jobs! He would never kowtow. Steve Jobs is not diplomatic like Cook. Jobs ego would clash directly with the President, the feud would get very personal, and the result would be crippling and destructive to Apple.

It's still better than listening to Pew-Die-Pie, or FoxNews or Breitbart.?????? CNBC......really??????
Nice liberal propaganda......
Get over 2016.
Inviting a president to tour your location to 'prove' yourself? Good luck Apple.
Ya ok,, perhaps if Donald Trump "saw" with his own eyes he may have a different opinion...
Even if Tim can pull the Mac Pro off clean,,, lets see him get away with other former products.

Like it or not, Cook's primary responsibility is to shareholders and their bottom line. Since Trump's decisions can affect that bottom line, finding ways to appease him is good business.
As much as I despise tariffs, specific companies should not receive a waiver. That creates an uneven playing field and only benefits companies who can afford that level of lobbying.
Please. Tolerance of anything white men wanted. Black slaves, Native Americans' land and resources. The exploitation and marginalization of immigrants.
The so-called Christian hypocrisy is outstanding. It seems no one actually READ the Book, let alone follow it's concepts.
America was founded on capitalism-driven conquest and plunder, pure and simple. Europe and their descendants have shaped the entire world with it, and pretty much everything that is happening now is a consequence of that.
Some acknowledge the history and work to remediate the consequences. Others protect their ill-gotten wealth or their ability to get it the same way.
And capitalism is AMORAL. It is only interested in making MONEY by ANY means necessary. Thus, both Trump and Cook are on the same team. Why shouldn't they hang out?
What Apple wants is talented people who work hard, notpeople who think they're too good to work and society owes them everything.
Here's one that conveys automation "COULD" eliminate...
Familiar with the words "Could", Possible, Expected...
Companies including Apple are looking for cheap labor.........
Automation Could Eliminate 73 Million U.S. Jobs By 2030 [Infographic]
A new report from the McKinsey Global Institute has found that by 2030, the number of American jobs lost due to midpoint automation could add up to 39 million while 73 million could be destroyed by rapid automation.

Apple wants cheap labor like all other companies in the USA or in other Countries. Also, not all H1B workers are talented, work out in US environments but they're cheap labor.

It is simple grammar.
"automation-could-eliminate-73-million-u-s-jobs"
Could applies to the amount, not the action.
"automation-will-eliminate-u-s-jobs"
In this form the certainty is true.
I will grant you the 80% loss is questionable due to large number of factors, however it is best estimate.
Again, estimated.............just more useless extrapolations. Just say you don't really know.
What exactly am I getting over in 2016? I generally like Trump. Taxing things into oblivion isn’t the answer to anything. I don’t care what side someone is on.
Oh, I know every well.
Automation does take away jobs.
That is fact.
I'll add I work for company that makes job "saving" automation machines.
Who said Automation doesn't replace physical jobs? It's projected numbers.

Again, ever hear about Chinese intellectual property theft and see what it has done to the US or are you just interested in cheap widgets.
It was not, 80% loss was the estimated past job loss based from various statistics.
There was an estimate for future looses.
Yes, going after IP transfer/theft is far more important than tariffs.
How is anything in that video "liberal propaganda?" I'm guessing you simply refuse to watch it because it's not from Fox News, Breitbart, or InfoWars.?????? CNBC......really??????
Nice liberal propaganda......
Get over 2016.
Nope, not even close.
Read the Declaration of Independence, it said "We the People", not "We the White People", not "We the Rich People", not "We the Christians", not "We the Men", and not "We the Europeans". Now, certainly there were people that took advantage, and did not have or honor these principles, and there are people today that continue that choice, but that is not what the founders intended and it was not the foundation of our country.
A little honest research will show a different and true story about the founding of America. Of course, no woke person today wants anyone reading that, because otherwise they would have to attack people like Republican and Democratic politicians that still today continue to NOT live up to the dreams and intentions of the founders of America that socialists, fascist, and communists, what to destroy.
Once our constitution is destroyed and we are almost there, we will be no better than say Uganda. And once we lose our 2nd amendment rights, we will have no rights what-so-ever. Remember the Supreme Court ruled slavery legal. They are not our saviors, only the citizens enforce our freedom by having the power to counter the rule of the elite through force.
