Once they take cold cash out of the equation, you have zero privacy in any transaction.
Anything you purchase is recorded. The government is having an orgasm on how easy
it has been to get rid of cash. Not just in the U.S., but globally.
In WORTHLESS subjects....ancient languages, underwater basketweaving bla bla bla.
Get a 2 year trade school degree. You'll be LESS in debt, and probably make more money
than these "entry level" jobs in the first place.
But...NO, can't do that. Kids are told from their youth, you have to have a four year degree.
So, everyone goes for a four year degree, colleges & universities gouge them and they end
up 50-100k or more IN DEBT and can't pay it back.
$$$$$$$
They want you to purchase overpriced BT headsets.
They want to make them more "water proof"
They want to use the room for larger batteries LOL
They want to reduce the cost by eliminating the jack. LOL
It's pretty simple, they take something away, call it a "feature" then jack up the price.
Personally, I haven't used the headphone jack on my phone ever, so I don't miss it.
I'm older, almost 60, and grew up without an ipod, walkman or anything shoved into
my ears all the time.
I see some of these stores, in the middle of no where, miles from any other "store". Pockets of old towns long since bypassed
by multi-lane highways and interstates that use to have enough traffic to support 3-4 convenience stores, grocery stores etc.
Now, somewhat cutoff, many have to drive 10-20 miles for food. These stores, sometimes fill a VOID and allow people to
purchase items, without having to expend the resources to get to a larger city.
Yeah right...blame that on the government shutdown.
Let's stop being "the world's police" for flipping everything and let other countries fend for themselves a while!
Commie China, with the help of Google, had AI, cameras, social media scores and what not. You think those that have a little more freedom in China, are going to screw that up, by purchasing anything other that a 100% Chinese brand? Even though the iPhones are made in China, most Chinese will buy from local merchants, because they don't want to be "shamed".
Socialism DOES NOT WORK. When you have so many people "getting something for nothing", they become
lazy (unless they are at the point of a gun). Why strive to do better, when the guy on the line next to you gets
the same amount, and is a lazy bum?
Oh, I know the under 30 crowd thinks socialism works, because they have been indoctrinated since birth in the
re-education camps called public schools, but, it will NOT work. Let other countries continue to try it and FAIL.
If it a number that isn't in my address book, I just ignore them. If there is no voicemail, the call
gets added to my truecaller block list. Same with text messages. I don't know who "Ray" is, but
the poor guy has trouble with getting it up, needs to exercise & makes thousands from home.
Now there will be a ban on concrete to "stem man made global warming", just like there was
a push to ban cows, or make them wear some sort of diaper to capture that CO2 in their farts.
Ban concrete, guess we'll have to go back to building everything out of lumber. Oh no! can't do that,
might cut down too many trees. Guess we'll all go back to living in caves. Nope, can't do that, might
displace the animals, reptiles or insects that live there.
You anti everything morons don't get it. One good volcano burps out more "nasty Co2" than anything
man ever did or could do. Mt. St. Helen's alone screwed up "the weather" more than we ever have.
Just smoke your mary jane, sniff up your coke and leave the rest of us alone.
Just dial 911. Telecommunicators can directly connect you to the suicide prevention number at the
snap of a finger. We use to route calls to ambulance, EMT's, gas leak, etc all the time.
How about for the past couple years?
But, every year, our boss & his wife (owners of the company) seem to have enough money to jet off
to Africa for a safari. Maybe a lion will get too close one of these days LOL.
Hey, you clowns voted for this jackazzes, you get what you deserve.
High taxes, terrible traffic, high crime rates, illegal immigration. Instead of
the wall at the southern border, we need one running from Nevada, up to Canada as well.
100 years of data, versus the AGE of the Earth in millions of years?
Drop in the bucket. It's been warmer in the arctic and it's been colder.
Shoot, in the 90's, the retreating ice sheet that Algore said was caused by man
uncovered a long abandoned village. Now, if it was WARM enough to support
a small village before the ice over ran it, then it wasn't the industrial revolution that
caused it.
Just more scare tactics by the globalist who want to control 100% of the human population.
Municipal broadband "should" be better, because it is kept LOCAL. In theory, that means those running it
should be more accountable to the subscribers, whereas a huge corporation would say who cares what some
little town says.
Of course in theory, a bumble bee can't fly.
I'm not an apple fan, but, THIS IS NOT a first line device.
Say you have Afib or some other problem. This might help MONITOR your heart but
if anyone thinks this is a first line device, you need to have the watch taken away and
give you some blocks to play with.
As long as people are willing to put up with it, you think they are going to LOWER the prices
out of the goodness of their heart? Not that the prices were low when Jobs was alive, but,
now that he is gone, the puppet Cook, just does what the stock holders tell him to do.

Might as well have them implant a bio-chip in your skin. THAT would be the logical next step. No muss, no fuss, NO PRIVACY.
STOP using twitter.

Gotta pay for all the free stuff given to all the illegal aliens coming from Africa somehow.

1. YOUR personal data 2. Blocking any conservative content 3. Promoting any liberal/socialist content
Digital license, make it your lock screen wallpaper. Police need to see your ID, turn on your phone, and you won't have to unlock it. ;)
Better than tossing them in the trash!

There are NO ads, no "trending" crap on my Fakebook page. Of course it takes multiple blockers to accomplish that.

I thought that's what tumblr was for? From what I read, it's a hookup/one night stand site and a place for prostitutes.
