I'm worried about this shift in Silicon Valley's values 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, stability is important, but shouldn't we be pushing for change too? It feels like the old days of tech companies trying to make a real difference are being put on the backburner. But at the same time...I can see how companies need to consider their bottom line. It's not all black and white 
. Maybe it's just about finding that balance between doing good and doing well? Apple has always been about innovation, and if they're willing to adapt now to avoid financial repercussions, maybe it's a sign that the tech industry is maturing

. It's like he's trying not to rock the boat, you know? And this whole thing with the CEOs from other companies signing a statement too... it's all so interesting 
. I wonder if they're just trying to avoid any more controversy or if they genuinely believe that deescalation is the way forward 
. And what about Trump's involvement? Is he really that influential over Apple's policies? 
. I mean, I get it, they're trying to maintain stability and avoid any financial repercussions 
, but at what cost? It feels like they're losing their grip on what made them great in the first place - using tech to drive positive change 
.
, but when you have a CEO like Cook who's suddenly aligning with Trump's views 
. Companies are more concerned with not rocking the boat than actually making a difference in the world 
. It's just so disappointing when you think about it 
.
like apple is just taking a step back from everything and being all like "let's not rock the boat" 
. where's the passion? the conviction? tim cook used to be so much more than just a guy who likes his socks 
, but now he's just another corporate suit trying to avoid controversy 
. what happened to apple's heart? 
! I'm all for deescalation and unity, but it feels like Apple's just trying to avoid some serious heat 
. Tim Cook was always about making a difference, now he seems more worried about keeping the shareholders happy 
. I get it, business is hard, but can't we use our influence to create real change instead of just watering down our values 
?
