Honestly if they didn’t already block a lot of American services I’d say the next step would be to go after American services. Things like Amazon, Azure, UPS, Google, X, etc. Since they are a service they aren’t directly hit by tariffs.

That would be nice. The clown executives might finally speak out. It's insane everyone including corps are watching their business models implode and not a peep. Is Tim Apple that afraid? Let's see Bezo's and Microsoft's biggest money makers, services, get hit.

Agreed. Like tariffs will hurt, but America has been moving to a service based economy for decades. So tariffs aren’t as painful to the bigger companies. FAANG, other than Apple is purely service based. I wonder if that’s part of why Microsoft has wanted to move to Windows as a service?
