Title: Al Gore is officially too old to serve on Apple’s board
Post by: Gefn on January 12, 2024, 01:49:24 pm: Al Gore is stepping down from Apple’s Board of Directors – but only because he’s too old to be renominated.

Apple has a longstanding policy that its directors cannot stand for reelection after reaching the age of 75. That means it’s time for Gore, who is now 75, to retire, the company announced Thursday.

Gore has served on the Apple board since 2003, the company said. He’s also served as the 45th vice president of the United States and as a climate activist.

The Nobel laureate received $376,894 as compensation for serving on Apple’s Board of Directors in 2023, according to an SEC filing. That total included $275,022 in stock awards.

James Bell, former chief financial officer of The Boeing Company, will also step down from the board due to his age.

Now THAT would make a great Black Mirror type story!

Any one suspect that there MIGHT be SOME slight connection between Goober's time in the WH and Gooberment contracts with Apple?

Can you say "money laundering with a no-show job"?

That's a given, and honestly if you did enough research, you'll find that they barely hide it.

Same with the ~~global warming~~ Climate Change bullshit. Enviro-whack-o-ism has made ManBearPig very rich.
