Million-Dollar Picture ⇥ forbes.com

Charitably, the best you can say about Tim Cook’s appearance at the inauguration this week is to presume he is there reluctantly. A million-dollar contribution bought him the same proximity to this nakedly transactional administration as executives from Amazon, Google, Meta, and Uber. It is not his presence that would be conspicuous to this administration, but his absence.

If you believe all that, this is a photo of someone whose face appears between those of J.D. Vance and Donald Trump. I hope Cook will keep a framed copy on his desk as a reminder every time those two do something cruel, inhumane, or bleak.
