TIM COOK’S EXIT IS PART OF A CEO RECKONING SWEEPING CORPORATE AMERICA

2026 is turning out to be one of the most seismic years for CEO transitions: Greg Abel replaced Warren Buffett as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Josh D’Amaro replaced Bob Iger at Disney, John Furner replaced Doug McMillon at Walmart, and now John Ternus is replacing Tim Cook at Apple.

We did spotlight Ternus as a potential successor back in October. And Cook is 65, an age at which many people retire. (Buffett, Iger and McMillon were 95, 75 and 59, respectively.) But Apple’s announcement comes amid a slew of other CEO transitions at Adobe, Coca-Cola, Dow, BP and elsewhere. What’s going on?

Die Bevölkerung ist bei der Energiewende nicht gespalten sondern will die Energiewende. Die AfD und Teile der Union repräsentieren hier eine Minderheitsmeinung. Die Bürger sind nicht dumm und wissen, dass die fossile Zeit zu Ende gehen muss.

So businesses passed the price increases on to customers and now get to claim refunds for the same price increases they already passed on to customers, which will most likely be paid for by taxpayers, who are of course the same people who already paid those higher prices in the first place, while those same businesses can still minimize what they pay through loopholes in the tax code.

Beautiful.

BREAKING: The US Government has begun refunding up to $166 billion in tariffs charged under President Trump after the Supreme Court ruled the policy unlawful.

Beginning today, businesses can file claims through a new customs system.

Over 330,000 importers across 53 million shipments are expected to be eligible.

Once approved, refunds plus interest will be paid within 60 to 90 days.

@TinaHaeringer Es war keine Notwehr. Das ist gerade der Tiefgang. Blut an der Jacke des Kollegen!?

[Martin Schaffer @schaaff]

@fromBrlin Weil es keine Notwehr war. Der andere Kollege hatte ja Blut an der Jacke. Auch die Notwehr war spontaner Schwindel, der aber aufgedeckt scheint und allseitig glaubwürdig empfunden wird.

"International Waterways."

The Strait of Hormuz is 21 nautical miles wide.

Iran and Oman each claim 12 nautical miles of territorial sea.

There is no international water in the Strait of Hormuz.

Every ship passes through sovereign Iranian or Omani territory.

"International Waterways" is not a legal term. It does not exist in maritime law.

The US has never ratified UNCLOS, the treaty that actually governs this. He's citing a treaty his country rejected, in waters his country doesn't own.

Do yourself a favour and actually read Iran's 10-point conditions list that Trump optimistically referred to as a "basis for negotiations"

Only reason for Pete Hegseth to fire top generals in middle of a war is that they refused to follow orders.

Only reason well-respected generals would refuse to follow DOD Secretary's orders was that those orders were insane.

Americans are going to die for Pete & Donald's egos.

Iran hit 16 vessels so far in Strait of Hormuz. That’s all it takes for Iran to control 20% of the world’s oil and become an oil hegemon — the number 1 strategic outcome US has sought to prevent in Middle East since 1970s. Iran is not weakening— it is gaining power.
