Hi all,
When I went to zoom out on the Weather app, I noticed an otherwise well-known body of water labeled as Gulf of America. <rant>Why, oh why, is Apple (or its app maker) going along with this silly publicity stunt? It brings back the memories of the idiocy of Freedom Fries.</rant>

Yeah, we all know they should have renamed it "Gulf of Apple” in honor of the most valuable company in the world. ::-) On Apr 3, 2025, at 6:22?PM, Bill Rising via groups.io <brising@...> wrote:

It’s because Biden made it illegal to drill in the Golf Of Mexico, changing the name got around it.

Sheesh. If that’s true it’s even more eighth-grade boy behavior than I thought.

Won’t know until we see if it works.
You could be right.

?Not that anyone Trump-adjacent would care about facts, but in fact Biden’s order banned oil drilling off the coast of Florida and much of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts under the authority of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. He did not (and could not) ban it in the Gulf of Mexico (or even in the Golf of Mexico, which sounds like Trump’s latest resort proposal in Cozumel). Although Trump has issued an executive order to overturn Biden’s order (which will be challenged in the courts) it has nothing to do with the renaming of the Gulf.
But just to keep more on topic, hey, how’s your Apple stock doing since Liberation Day?

Apple is getting killed isn’t it, once again Buffett is wise in his investing decisions by dumping much of his Apple.
Tariffs are going to really hurt Apple, stock should go low enough to become a buy.
Much of everything we consume is made in China, the one that really bothers is Pharmaceuticals, man they make most of the drugs we consume…not a good idea and by tearing up everyones stocks, retirements, it’s hoped that in the long run we will bring much of industry back to this country. The pain in the short term is not going to be good.
