    Again, I still don’t understand. They want the exact same thing now that the Republicans pushed weeks ago. Somehow it’s okay that they’re now asking for what they explicitly didn’t want? I actually read that as the Democrats being at fault for not agreeing when it mattered more.

     

    And it is big legislation, I'm sure there will be changes.


     

    That doesn’t count as a valid defense.

     
    The reason I say the reps are responsible for the shutdown is because obamacare was already a negotiated piece of legislation. Some people wanted single payer, some wanted no changes at all. The house and senate negotiated for something in between those choices. They passed it and the president signed it. It got taken to the Supreme Court and was found constitutional. Now of course that's not the end.

     

    That’s not even an accurate representation of the beginning.

    You've lost billions of dollars? And you have time to come on this message board? And there are millions more like you? That's amazing.

    Troll elsewhere.

    Right back at you.  Don't suggest that someone else's opinion is worth less because they don't earn billions of dollars when you don't either.  Don't suggest that there are "millions of others like you" when (i) you have no evidence to that fact, and (ii) even if it's true "millions" is vague and not particularly representative in a country of over 300 million.

     

    And this thread was doomed, as politics was bound to enter into it, despite not really having much to do with the main story.  People ranting about partisan politics are the trolls, since the story is about Apple (specifically, the spinning beach ball) recognition.  Which is somewhat damning with faint praise, not altogether disimilar to when Bill Gates got credited with "popularising" Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

    And how does the financial comparison go if deferred income is included?
