    I thought Red meant Russia, a.k.a. "scary Communists". Seeing how they act, except using money instead of the military, it's hard to tell the difference.

    ...economic equality... means no one prospers, because everyone is equally poor and dependent on the state for every aspect of their life. It's called Socialism.

    How does "economic equality" translates to "everyone is poor"? That's a typical U.S.A. point of view.

  4. And why not give them homes while we're at it?
    But you'll never be able to do that, because then they're no longer homeless and by definition no longer need any help. At least that's the capitalist way of thinking, especially in the U.S.A.

    It's all right there in the summary:

    1. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, along with his company, has poured more than $7 million into the campaign.

    2. The new funds will bring in an estimated $250 million to $300 million a year.

    So, a bit over 7 million was spent once to generate 250 to 300 million every year from now on. And even if it's repealed next year, it's a net gain of over 240 million for the homeless until then. The only way it would have been bad is if the law didn't pass, but it was a calculated move on his part. What you can do for the homeless with seven million is nothing compared to 250+ million.

    Maybe these people were using encryption, thus AT&T can't confirm they are not pirates, thus the allegations.

    Apple can make extremely dumb decisions: iPhone notch, removing the headphone port from iPhones and iPads, butterfly keyboards on MacBooks. Even after three generations of butterfly keyboards, they still suck.

    Stop following Apple and their dumb decisions. Stop making phones, tablets and laptops thinner. Just as there's "good enough" with technology, there's "thin enough" for portable devices. What we need is lighter devices with the same capabilities, not thinner with thermal throttling and no space left for batteries.

    For all these reasons, the fact that profits from services will soon be/already are exceeding profits from hardware sales, they should start selling macOS as a stand-alone OS for regular PCs. Simply give a list of supported CPUs/GPUs/chipsets.
