Private prison companies CoreCivic and GEO Group each donated $500,000, potentially positioning themselves to benefit from Trump's planned immigration policies. GEO Group's executive chairman, George Zoley, explicitly acknowledged these benefits, stating: "We believe that the private sector will play a critical role in assisting the government in carrying out its objectives...The GEO Group was built for this unique moment in our country's history and the opportunities that it will bring."
Pretty sure Tim Apple of Apple Cook computers donated a cool million to Trumps inauguration as well, which is weird as Trump is trying to destroy gay people and Tim Apple is in fact quite gay.
In the article, it’s explained why Trump did it. When Trump was first elected, he also maintained a cordial relationship with him to secure benefits for Apple.
Is this something to praise? Absolutely no!
But is it understandable? For me, it is.
Tim Cook also made a statement defending Apple’s core values of equanimity and equality, even after Trump halted equality policies in American companies.
You should check what Google and Meta said instead.
Earlier I shared this with a friend as it pretty much underlined how weird things have got:
The US Department of Education intends to lay off nearly half of its workforce. The layoffs of 1,300 people were announced by the department on Tuesday and described by the education secretary, Linda McMahon, as a “significant step toward restoring the greatness of the United States education system”.
...
Trump campaigned on a promise to close the department, claiming it had been overtaken by “radicals, zealots and Marxists”. At McMahon’s confirmation hearing, she acknowledged that only Congress has the power to abolish the agency but said it might be due for cuts and a reorganization.
I suspect most of us would rather take an unprotected chair shot to the head than whatever this nonsense is.
I presume Vince's pardon is already drawn up awaiting a signature.
