Open Letter to Tim Cook on Apple Card's Goldman Sachs Scandal [Women's Civil/Human Rights]
by Gunnar Larson 01 Jan '22

01 Jan '22

Dear Mr. Tim Cook: Bank.org invites Apple to radically innovate Apple Card. Goldman Sachs has a history of poor ethical stewardship, at the global level. Similarly, New York's former Governor Andrew Cuomo and NY-DFS Superintendent Linda Lacewell are now world famous for women's rights (you know the story). On March 23, 2021, Lacewell published NY-DFS' Findings on Apple Card and its. Underwriter Goldman Sachs Bank. Mr. Cook, former Superintendent of NY-DFS, Ms. Linda Lacewell's stone faced propaganda assured that Apple Card did not discriminate against women, while under Goldman Sachs management. Ms. Lacewell said <https://www.dfs.ny.gov/reports_and_publications/press_releases/pr202103231> , “The report also notes that the use of credit scoring in its current form and laws and regulations barring discrimination in lending are in need of strengthening and modernization to improve access to credit. Consumer frustration with the Apple Card policy of not permitting an account holder to add an authorized user drew attention to the following: a person who relies on a spouse's access to credit, and only accesses those accounts as an authorized user, may incorrectly believe they have the same credit profile as the spouse. This is one part of a broader discussion we must have about equal credit access.” xNY.io recently collated 61 highlights to the Report on Apple Card Investigation from March 2021: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xH16OKyuXzB-MVqIznMWDE9w8RRdmZCw/view?usp=… . Mr. Cook, the Apple Card investigation was to assess women's access to equitable finance. March 2021 also saw New York State Attorney General Letitia James' formal green light to launch an independent investigation into sexual harassment allegations <https://nypost.com/2021/02/27/second-woman-accuses-gov-andrew-cuomo-of-sexu…> lodged against Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Lacewell's legacy is authoring reports disparaging women. As such, the integrity of the Apple Card investigation must be rationally considered as flawed. Likewise, Goldman Sach has a history of unethical posturing on matters specific to women and girls (via global regulatory arbitrage structures). Mr. Cook, Peter Oppenheimer is Apple's former CFO and in 2014 joined Goldman Sachs' board of directors and serves on key committees such as Audit (Chair), Governance, Risk. There is no logical reason for Apple to trust the Apple Card report and your former CFO is well aware of the legacy of Goldman's unethical antics and regulatory arbitrage frameworks that take advantage of the world's most vulnerable populations. Mr. Cook, at the very least, it is now clear the former superintendent is famous for publishing reports that disperage women. Salacious as this may sound, all this is true and we cannot ignore the facts of the matter. What would Steve Jobs say? Apple Card can innovate the market globally. Mr. Cook, Apple Card should consider moving to Bank.org to make history. This is a smart pivot for you. We invite Apple to join Bank.org as we build the World's Best Bank. Sending you the very best regards. Thank you, Gunnar Larson -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001

Bait and switch

Replacing " Fuck Joe Biden " with " Let's go Brandon " is classic Military-Entertainment-Complex spin-replacing-reality. Its so bad I would compare it to replacing anarchists PoD ( Propaganda of the deed ) with some pathetic Hare Krishna type chant like NAP ( Non aggression principle ) Yes its that bad. But Randite-Paultard moron losers have always been phoney-baloney anarchists. Even a dumbass like Murray Rothbard finally figured that out.

China harvests masses of data on Western targets, documents show The Washington Post 2 hours ago Chinese Police Hunt Overseas Critics With Advanced Tech The New York Times WikiLeaks hasn’t spread a word of support for the Hong Kong protesters or for ANY of the lands and countries oppressed by nowadays Chinese government, including Chinese citizens. They just highlight "ooh the US govt is supporting the protests!" http://www.wikileaks-forum.com/-wikileaks-related-news/23/no-comment-wikile…

Yet another sign of Jim Bell's cognitive decline

I've already mentioned a few 1) He ignore the perfectly good " APster " in favor of the letters referring to Associated Press 2) He starts hangin' with known imbeciles and criminals - like Jeff Berwick 3) He now regards a clearly anti-social criminal as ' the enemy of my enemy " - very Assange 4) He openly prefers some numbskull non-ethic called " NAP ' to anarchism 5) He's chiming in on some of the lunatic LOL-GOP-Qanon garbage dropped off here by Gramps and 6 ) This just in - he's caving in like a whiny little bitch to the bait laid here by " Agent Truther " and one-man-Russian-Troll-Farm, Batshit Crazy. Crazy is the Alex Jones you have when you're not having cannibal Alex. Taking all this into account I suggest we collectively exercise some ' Soft APster " power and ask this Dumbell to leave. Failing that more stringent measures may be considered. Yes?

" Cipher - Punks " NFT drop pleases freethinkers
by professor rat 01 Jan '22

01 Jan '22

Released on Christmas Day by a group called “ItsBlockchain,” the “Cipher Punks” NFT package included portraits of 46 distinct figures, with ten copies of each token. Taken at their opening price, the full value of the drop was roughly $4,000. Plus there’s no such thing as bad PR. Amirite? If this is some sort of anti-social scam it will soon come out and either Hard or Soft APster will apply. Maybe both.
