      that’ll do it for you, eh?

      as someone else pointed out, your definition of evil is quite interesting in that a qualification is that it goes past people they are in physical proximity to.

      not sure where you got that, seems a little comic-book-y… how about a nurse in a hospital that slowly poisons a child, watching doctors be baffled and see the parents fall apart with unspeakable grief because she likes the drama and was bored. not evil?

        There are plenty of people who are jackasses to those around them, and ruthless in business.

        Describing someone or something as evil really calls for something a bit more dramatic.

          This.

          Use words accurately, or you dilute their meaning. Being a shit person is one thing, being evil is on another level. Conflating the real evil fuckers of this world with your average asshole diminishes the true depth of their awfulness.

          That said, yeah, brutal sweatshops in china were a thing before Apple moved out of his parents garage, so pushing for manufacturing there does indeed make him qualify.
