@Evan_P_Grant It reminds me of when the Golden State Warriors signed Kevin Durant the season after having the best record in the NBA. The rich just get richer.
It's not your decision to make, Bernie, whether a price is "unacceptable." That belongs to the people making the purchase, not a government bureaucrat who imagines he knows what a thing ought to cost. If the price is too high, men don't buy it, and Apple lowers it. That is the only authority required: the free judgment of the buyer.
You want to talk greed? Greed is wanting what you did not earn and seizing it by force. Cook offered you a phone you are free to refuse. You offer the public nothing and demand the power to dictate terms to a company you never built, with money you never made.
Apple's "profits" are millions of voluntary choices to trade. Your career is the opposite: taking by law what men would not give you by choice. One of you produced the value. The other just wants the power to command it.
The greed isn't in Cupertino. It's in the Senate seat that confuses a vote with ownership of other people's work.
