As a “glass half empty” kind of guy I can’t help but wonder about a guy, who’s hardly got mankind’s best interests at heart considering the work environment of his hundreds of thousands of employees, who puts a half-billion dollars into “biomedical research.” Let’s not forget that when people talk about children assembling iPhones and 18 hour shifts on Apple assembly lines, THIS is the guy ultimately responsible. He’s hardly a humanitarian, so what, exactly, kind of research is he funding?
