Apple CEO Tim Cook to the class of 2019: 'My generation has failed you' (via CNBCMakeIt)

"You don't need to look far to find an example of that failure," Cook said, referring to New Orleans, where he was speaking."Here today, in this very place, where thousands once found desperate shelter from a hundred-year disaster — the kind that seem to be happening more and more frequently — I don't think we can talk about who we are as people and what we owe to one another without talking about climate change," Cook said.

"The coastal communities, including some right here in Louisiana, that are also making plans to leave behind the places they have called home for generations and head for higher ground. The fisherman who nets come up empty. The wildlife preserves with less wildlife to preserve, the marginalized, for whom a natural disaster can mean enduring poverty.""Whatever you do, don't make the mistake of being too cautious," said Cook.

MakeIt No generation has failed anyone. The strong Americans survived depression, developed mass production, strong defense and weapons to keep world free, created middle class family w/modern advances, medical, housing, man on Moon to present tech. Think free. Dont follow group think.

MakeIt No, our generation did not fail anyone. Government encroachment has held people back. LifeLibertyPursuitOfHappiness

MakeIt Quite a contrast to Robert F. Smith and his gift to the Morehouse graduates. That's real action and leadership.

MakeIt I didn’t read his speech but would agree if he said that politicians continue to run up trillions of debt and obligations that will fall on the shoulders of younger generations.

MakeIt ...says the multi-mega billionaire who's company offshores manufacturing and jobs at sub-par locations on the cheap, overcharges for plastic/metal devices, and lives in one of the Dem 'utopia' states with the worst homelessness issues just minutes from his own home.

MakeIt My oh my Tim- wrong

MakeIt The CEO of one of the best known, most loved, profitable and valuable companies ever has no understanding of people, which makes sense since Apple enables and takes advantage of the emotionally vulnerable just like everyone else. Tim, you and our other leaders are failing us!!!!

MakeIt Who cares what this babysitter thinks. given the reigns to a great company and hasnt come out with a new product since he took over. He has failed on auto, music and tv. Best thing he did was overpay for beats which he doesnt really market anymore. -fails!

MakeIt Typical Auburn grad...

MakeIt When you see our representive at the highest level of our government and see DJ Trump, how we see anything but failure, we can’t. But it is more..

MakeIt Steve Jobs, Innovator. Tim Cook, Money Manager.

MakeIt Unlike of CXO regretting and telling next millennial that they have failed Gen Nxt.Both the generations were in diff time zone..Everybody is free to lead or be led..Shape Up or Ship out is writing on the wall for both millennial as well as the Gen of ours..Age is just the number!

MakeIt I love the hardcore Apple users who call themselves environmentalists. Minerals to make the iPhone were mined and refined in a 3rd world country with little to no environmental standards. Nm they were assembled in China with few labor laws. Talk about a huge let down.

MakeIt Trump won 60% of the vote over 65. Thanks

MakeIt Misleading headline taken out of context. Way to go CNBC.

MakeIt Baby Boomers (aka: Generation Awesome) are a poison on this Earth. Most selfish humans in history.

MakeIt Well TimCook Apple that’s not even a start. Confess the theft, then, invite the victim, padraicmcfreen, to Cupertino to help you save the world from your failure 💋💋

MakeIt Climate change and Apple not paying taxes. It’s one giant scam where they make money in various countries but don’t pay taxes or even cover their costs for the use of public facilities.

MakeIt As the popular 60’s saying goes. ‘Don’t trust anyone over 30!’😉

MakeIt What? Interesting an incredible economy in peacetime. What else do these brats want?

MakeIt Duh!!!

MakeIt Jezz commencement should be motivating instead of this constant peddling and casting everyone asgod damn victims.. We need Jordon Peterson messaging to our youth

MakeIt Speaking for himself ...

MakeIt Tim is fulla crap! Nobody failed the class of 2019!!!!

MakeIt He reference New Orleans hurricane and associates it to “man made” climate change? “We”need to do more? Smart man but exactly how have “we” caused the Hurricanes?

MakeIt What a dumb thing to say. Keep feeding the victims and they will never know how to fend for themselves .

MakeIt Since Tim has no children he is not in a position to indict a whole generation. No personal skin in the game.

MakeIt The arguments about wealth inequality have been going on for over 50 years with no resolution. The protracted impasse has caused numerous distortions. What do we want and who pays? Somebody has to decide.

MakeIt What about the 500,000 in Foxconn dormitories? At least he didnt send them to Xinjiang.

MakeIt Tim cook the con man who conned steve jobs is conning our young folks. He put ALL of his supply chain in ONE nation--CHINA. How the heck any sane person do that ?

MakeIt Nope! I don't think His generation failed! They gave us computers, the internet and microwave, we are eternally grateful for all that!

MakeIt Thanks are you clear Sir relax Generation not failed

MakeIt to be fair, my parents mostly did fine by me it’s the rest of you boomers...

MakeIt This clown has failed society as a whole by creating generations of electronic dependents (addicts) that have no social skills to speak of!

Truthcoin MakeIt Pick a worse picture of him. Not like I care, but ugh. And I have a feeling that phrase was take in way out of context.

MakeIt Oh please. Just keep feeding into their entitlement. 🙄

MakeIt Just read it. He doesn't seem to include himself among the failures. A book just published about him calls him a 'genius'. But he is a failure: he was handed leadership of the world's premier tech company and failed to find its necessary direction.

MakeIt iPhone turned a generation into depressed, electronic tethered robots. Well done, Tim!

MakeIt American reckoning has started w/ Cook’s admission . Hopefully true scoundrels will have the guts to admit what they had done to America in the name of globalization & multiculturalism. Dishonest discourse of politics led to complete breakdown of ethos and values made 🇺🇸 great.

MakeIt No shit

MakeIt Honest admission! Thank you tim_cook!
