It has been pointed out that the “normal” flu affects the labor market many times more than this new virus has.

. Still the race is on to get responses and points from users with many responses being duplicates of earlier responses. Competing for points is common. 

what value is a point?
i left because of the login in and carelessness to problem seekers who wont follow up

As your point count rises you are given access to private sections of the forums and certain privileges normal users don’t have. For example, I’m at level 5 right now and I sometimes get invitations to attend forum seminars and future community announcements. If I ever get to level 6 I gain access to a private area where I can communicate directly with actual Apple employees about issues and forum policies. There are also invitations to social get togethers in various parts of the country. the idea is to encourage participation and helpful responses to user problems or questions. As I said before you gain points when a user marks your response as having solved their problem (10 points) or marked as helpful (5 points). if the admins mark your response to a particular post as “Suggested by Apple” you get 7 points. Attending the aforementioned seminars or community meetings also gets you additional points. So the incentive is there to be active AND helpful to users who come with problems.

Well, what’s the truth? We have third party companies selling equipment to law enforcement to unlock iPhones. Eazy Peezy they say. Truth or fake news? We have security experts saying iOS is full of security holes that can be exploited by state actors. Isn't the FBI a state actor? Truth or fake news? If all of this is true then why is the FBI asking Apple for help again when they should be able to crack that iPhone open on their own? Questions, questions. And if the news about machines opening up iPhones and security holes being exploited is complete bullshit then who is responsible for this troll?

It's so sad that children are still made to work

Like kids on family run US Farms?

No, not like kids on family run farms. 
Holy shit man... 

My grandfather used to send his sons (my mother’s brothers, my uncles) out to other farms to work. The pay would come directly to him and my uncles never saw a dime. But they had room and board and also worked on the family farm so,,,
