Tim Cook has just made a very public investment in the future of China, betting $1 billion on the country's version of Uber as he prepares for a trip to Beijing. The investment in Didi Chuxing is an unusual one for Apple, which typically swallows smaller companies whole.

So investing in totalitarian China where LGBTs are banned from appearing on tv, and no gay marriage allowed is ok but verboten to do business is states such as NC that try to protect religious freedom and keep perverts out of bathrooms.

In regards to the article:

In regards to your comment: So investing in totalitarian China where LGBTs are banned from appearing on tv, and no gay marriage allowed is ok but verboten to do business is states such as NC
That's very simple. Just like the Chinese know, our politicians will cave on every issue. He's working on training China to do the same.

Tim Cook is one of the evil agents who turned Colorado from a reliably conservative state to a center of pro-gay, anti-Christian activism.
