We will get apologies from the people that reported on bullshit unfounded rumors that turn out to have no relation to anything Apple was actually going to release.
"Invest in a TV studio to produce original programming."
You are thinking much too small
Comcast/NBCUniversal has a market cap of ~$135 billion. Apple has $160 billion cash on hand.
Apple could stage a hostile takeover of the largest media company in the world and any financing would be out of convenience, to avoid repatriation of foreign earnings, etc.
Costs will increase because you have to do all of the same work as a traditional payment processing network plus you have one additional currency exchange. The supply curve will hist upward to try to capture more of the surplus to compensate.
There is a definite potential that some future administration will misuse this data or from negligence allow it to be misused. Perhaps even a likelihood.
However, there is a *certainty* that the anti-vaxers are trying to kill your kids right now.
He did get his free speech. No one stopped him from saying anything.
Also, the rest of the NBA chose to exercise their free speech by disassociating from him under the terms of the franchise that he *voluntarily* agreed to. Why do you hate contracts?
Because this is private enterprise in a non-command economy, so producers are free to all pursue soft-keyboard and boner pills if they so chose and dismiss physical keyboards and cures for cancer.
(As an aside, this also highlights the dangers of political theories that assume an economy in equilibrium.)
This is the social equivalent of closing a bug as WORKSFORME.
Even if we stipulate that that you yourself really have not witnessed the scenario, it is pretty arrogant to dismiss out of hand all other contrary evidence without bothering to refute it.
"I'm pretty sure just being of Jewish descent is enough for a prosecution in Iran."
Judaism is an officially recognized religious minority in Iran. Jews are guaranteed representation in the Iranian legislature. Jews are also protected by a fatwa issued by Ayatollah Khomeini.
So I guess we know how much your state of "pretty sure" is worth. At best it is 90 years out of date, since even Reza Shah Pahlavi was favorable to the Jews, despite his association with the Nazis.
Your overwhelming focus on on promoting your inability to chose your words is a good signal of your inability to do other things. The rest of us are trying to do our jobs and you are IN THE WAY.
"If google and facebook could find qualified black (or American employees in general) employees, wouldn't they do that rather than importing people"
a) Black Americans are not just black, they are American so they do not have the specter of their visa being pulled and are likely more familiar with American law. b) You have assumed rational non-racist business decision and used that to prove their their business decision is rational and not racist. This is a great example of the original meaning of "begging the question".
Since a) It takes 3/5 of the Senate to vote for cloture, and b) there are 53 Senators with the Democratic Party and 2 Independents that caucus with the Democrats, the answer is "a group of at least 5 Republican Senators".
"If your ability to earn a living can be taken away because of something you said or did, even though what you did is perfectly legal and you broke no laws, and even though you weren't at work when you said or did it, then you have effectively created a society where there is no free speech."
Why is this argument allowed in the defense of unpopular speech or positions, but not allowed in the defense of popular speech or positions?

No, I've never been right before. Why do you ask?

"why can't google and everyone else support public transportation?"
Because that is damned dirty communism.
The counter-example is Flappy Birds.

" It barely covers the cost of electricity." ;-)
This is only true if bitcoin is not a fiat currency.

Nowhere did I claim that Reza Shah was good for anything, just merely not as bad at a particular thing as someone was claiming.

"What's even less respectful is getting government thugs involved in the whole thing, and forcing the deletion of the images."
Resolving a conflict in rights between individuals is *exactly* the kind of the thing governments are created for.
