Did he hire, promote and name his successor because of his sexual orientation? I don't think Steve could have cared less about anyone's sexual orientation, he was looking for whoever he thought was best qualified for the job (which is the way it should be). Being gay shouldn't qualify anyone for a job anymore than it should disqualify them for a job.

"Some U.S. proponents of Trump’s wall use the Hungary fence as an example of how well they can work. But Hungary’s wall gets too much of the credit given the number of asylum-seekers using the Balkan route was also sharply down — partly due to other countries on the route shutting down their own borders (see Macedonia below), and partly because the overall numbers to Europe were drastically down."Walled world: Lessons from Europe's border barriers

When I went to school, I was taught that there are three branches of government: executive, legislative and judicial. The legislative branch passes laws - not the executive. What Obama did was wrong so it should be easy to undo. You want DACA? Pass a bill.![]()
Apple today filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration policy. Apple has filed many briefs before the Court, but this is the first time that Apple's CEO Tim Cook and Vice President of Retail and People Deirdre O'Brien are named too.

DACA provides around 800,000 individuals who entered the U.S. at age 16 or younger with a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation, and eligibility for a work permit in the country. Many of these individuals, known as Dreamers, have lived in the U.S. for the majority of their lives.
In its brief, Apple notes that it employs 443 Dreamers who come from more than 25 different countries spanning four continents. Dreamers at Apple run the gamut of roles within the company, including hardware engineering, software engineering, retail, customer support, and operations across 36 states.
Apple says it would "quite literally not exist without a brilliant and driven population of immigrants," including Dreamers, adding that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs's father immigrated from Syria himself. Apple also mentions several studies that link a diverse workforce to a company's growth and success.
The introduction of Apple's brief:And the conclusion:The U.S. Supreme Court will consider the legality of DACA during its 2019 term, which begins Monday, October 7.
Apple's full amicus brief is embedded below.
