On October 2, the day after Hong Kong police shot a high school kid in the chest, a spontaneous protest in the central business district brought a crowd of thousands out to march through the city. These office workers stopped and together recited this pledge, to keep fighting.pic.twitter.com/moNdAK2xq7

That pledge was written earlier in the day, and the people in the crowd with Apple phones got it from one another via AirDrop. There was an eerie two minutes of silence as they paused to share it, read it, and then recite it together.pic.twitter.com/xfqK2n3zsH

The whole felt like an Apple commercial, frankly, but it was real. You have to pick a side, and if you work at Apple, you have to help your boss and your boss's boss pick the right side.

Also you could make them install sunshades and individual offices in the giant donut headquarters, require child care on site, and make them hire the chefs and service workers who are subcontracted now as full Apple employees. The dream is real!
