My understanding on this is that Apple is expanding existing contracts. Some involve doubling billion dollar contracts which adds up faster than this deal.
One of the things they announced when they made the original pledge was 20k for new high income jobs which is easily billions per year in salaries. Plus this requires expanding their various campuses because they do not allow work from home, so several more billion there.
These tech companies are massive so expanding their existing footprints adds up very quickly. Other mega tech corps like Meta and Google are increase spending by tens of billions just on AI expansion, however they haven't pledge that be specific to the US.
If the tech proves out and scales, Apple and Samsung will eventually incorporate it but by that time the smaller players will have moved on to newer tech.
I've seen far worse movies, movies that are truly unwatchable.
I know nothing about the source material and I get the impression that's the difference here between those who think this is a terrible movie instead of just another mediocre comic book movie. As someone who had never read comics, they're all equally meh to me but I wouldn't call any of them unwatchable.
Just going to post another reply to you in this thread to let you know I agree with everything you're saying.
The vibe of these people is the exact same vibes I get from right wing people elsewhere in the internet. They literally blame the same people for the similar reasons.
It's eerie until I remember all the stats on American education. Anyone who talks with these levels of certainty are fools. Every time. Every one.
All up and down this thread is just utter disregard for any aspect of reality that contradicts the narrative.
Welcome to Lemmy!
Unlike Reddit and its right wing trolls, we have leftish wannabes who are clearly are intellectually on even ground with any random right wing troll and they will downvote anyone who disagrees into oblivion at best and ban you most of the time.
These threads are no different than any r/conservative echo chamber. If their points could face criticism, they wouldn't need to downvote and they wouldn't need safe places.
I live in the wrong neighborhood. I only have one cat that "wandered in" and it wasn't into my house but a former coworker's barn.
She went from skinny with a silent meow, to a big orange floof ball that will audibly meow at dinner time.
She was very affectionate from the start so not sure where she came from before that. She's chipped now though and shows no desire to go outside ever again.
The idea of an organization making this judgement is fucked.
Why don't any other targeted groups have their own ADL?
Finally we could have some definition around using the n word! And white peole can up their game by using phrasing like, "this may sound racists but the negro-adl said it is not so a black man and a white women..."
