declined the opportunity to express any criticism of the U.S. government for its response to COVID-19.editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, in a 20-minute talk with Cook that was recorded late last week and streamed during the festival’s opening night, pressed him on the matter two separate times.responded” to the pandemic, Cook said, rattling off initiatives by Apple, from face shield donations to renewed efforts to ensure its news feeds stay free of phony pandemic reports.

“I kind of view the conversations that I’ve had [with Trump] as private conversations, so I don’t want to talk about it in detail,” Cook said. “My whole philosophy is engagement. I believe that it’s much better to be involved, whether you’re in agreement or, I think it’s even more important to engage when you disagree on something.”

While productivity is possible at a distance, Cook said, “it’s not like being together physically.” The company’s gleaming, circular Apple Park building was designed to foster creativity and serendipitous interaction between employees. “I can’t wait for everybody to be able to be able to come back to the office,” Cook said, though he added, “I don’t think we’ll be able to return to the way we were because we’ve found that there are some things that work really well virtually.

Goldberg inquired about Cook’s sense of his own future at the company. Cook, who will turn 60 in November, said he considered it “the privilege of a lifetime to be here in this role at this time.” In 2011, he was named CEO after a lengthy run as a key lieutenant of longtime chief Steve Jobs.

Except for all the experts...ohhh and trump. But we all know how that story played out

Tim Cook, Trump apologist.

Except we all knew it was coming from the news, that reported about the outbreak in China. It wasn’t any surprise that it came here and done what it’s continuously doing, killing people, infected millions. And all the fucker in the WH had to do.. was to ask everyone to wear masks

Damn it, Tim Apple. Admit that Trump fucked up.

Except for all the experts who predicted it.

HBO and Apple are not TV It's hard to believe that there is not some polling that goes on before this show. Seems like everybody knew that Schitt's Creek, Watchmen, and Succession would win just about everything. Doesn't make for suspenseful television on a show that is 2 hours too long.

Voice Of America CEO In The Hot Seat: Democratic Lawmakers Bear Down On PackKey Democratic lawmakers are scrutinizing Trump appointee Michael Pack, CEO of USAGM. Since starting in June, Pack has refused to extend visas for the agency's foreign workers and fired the heads of most of the networks he oversees, among other moves. After seeing this, I’m really starting to believe Trump is a Russian asset, not just a clueless asshole. It isn’t even about partisan politics, its about destruction of another respected international organization.
