The more important part of that article is the list of all the other companies also doing the same. Its clear that the West Coast world is in genuine terror of Trump coming to office and many are trying to curry favor with him to spare some wrath they suspect is coming for their bullshit.
I don't think half of it will truly happen, but if they are paranoid enough to be doing this then its still at least a step away from full woke even if they are still worthless leeches on our country.
Also, why the fuck does an inauguration need apparently millions upon millions of dollars in donations? The only way it makes sense is truly if this is all tribute offered to the new king, because otherwise its the most wasteful party in existence.

It sounds like some kind of backdoor bribery loophole, similar to the Presidential Library donations. (look at how the supposed costs of those libraries has ballooned since Clinton)
I hope Trump surprises them all and appears via satellite from his secure bunker at mar-a-lago. We don't need another inauguration, just get to work.
...yet many, it turns out, did not because they are retarded.
Coming back to a modern day note, Apple is getting fucked hard due to a certain country (guess who?) opting for Made-in-China alternatives to the iPhone. Trade war will not help the Apple stock...and one day, neither will the large amount of debt they've apparently accumulated over the years.
Cook, with a consistent presence in Washington, has made it clear over the years that he believes in participation, not sitting on the sidelines, and engaging with policymakers from both sides of the aisle.
I like how the journoscum frames Cook's lobbying and bribing as a personal virtue.
A Trump financial disclosure form released just after he left office reported that Cook once gave the president a $5,999 Mac Pro computer made at an Austin factory the two toured in 2019.
Giving POTUS a free 6k laptop kind of feels like the 50k lootbags that Oscar audience members get.
Translation
'Here is tribute oh merciful lord, please don't punish me for my earlier resistance'
This implies that these kinds of regular Dem donors KNOW there is no organised opposition to hinder Trump as he comes in.
Which means if Republicans and base can just not infight and sabotage each other for a week, we can get A LOT done very quickly.
While we're making such reasonable requests, I'd like a winning lottery ticket, low-calorie chocolate that tastes good, and my very own Mars colony.
Reminder: Republicans are also an enemy of the American people.

Aka, "pls no bully".
This is basically a bribe to beg for continuous absence of accountability.

In the world of modern day politics, this is simply good business. That's why companies like Blackstone did so in 2017 - https://www.opensecrets.org/trump/inauguration-donors

The same place their new CFO of all of 3 days is from because the simulation loves irony?
Not a bad guess, but China - https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/apple-offers-rare-iphone-discounts-china-amid-intensifying-huawei-competition
Their AI upgrade appears to be globally panned all the same.
FWIW the debt comment is derived from one of the ZH commenters and skimming some graph after searching thereafter.
They recognized him as one of his own?
