Following a series of assaults against Asian Americans in San Francisco, Tim Cook has added Apple's voice to those of local civil rights groups condemning the violence. Cook's comments state that Apple is against "racism in all its forms," also comes after violent protests in Myanmar. Tim Cook tweeted: The rising violence against the Asian community is a painful & urgent reminder that we must unite against racism in all its forms. There is no place for hate in our society. The team at Apple stands together & we will be donating to groups providing support to those affected. According to National Public Radio, the Bay Area violence, is rooted in racist, xenophobic rhetoric that claims Asian Americans are responsible for the coronavirus. As with previous pledges of financial support to aid and humanitarian causes, Cook did not specify either which groups or how much money Apple would donate. Apple does regularly contribute one-off donations to such causes, though, and it is currently funding an ongoing Racial Equality and Justice Initiative with $100 million across the US. Apple is also now the most valuable company in the world: https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/apple-now-worth-2-trillion-making-it-most-valuable-company-n1237287 Apple just crossed the $2 trillion market capitalization mark, becoming only the second company ever to do so. From a garage in Los Altos, California to the most profitable company in the world with its devices, services and ethos interwoven into much of modern daily life, the high-flying valuation sets it apart from its nearest tech competitors. Amazon and Microsoft boast market capitalizations of about $1.5 trillion each. Googles is just north of $1 trillion. <cite>ZannoL posted [p:950674295] in Apple's CE...
