  • Trump gives Apple a giant break with wide-ranging tariff exemptions

    Trump's Tariff/Sales Tax is modeled on the Tariff Taxes levied on Americans before income taxes were instituted in 1935. The Tariff Taxes are, per Project 2025, meant to replace the income tax.

    - Under Trump’s Tariff/Sales Tax Plan people living paycheck to paycheck will pay 27% of their incomes in tariff and sales taxes.
    - Those wealthy enough to save 1/2 of their incomes will pay 13.5% of their incomes in tariff and sales taxes.
    - Billionaires who invest most of their incomes pay next to nothing in taxes relative to their incomes.

    Tariffs will bankrupt farms and small businesses allowing billionaires and venture capitalists to buy property for pennies on the dollar. Home ownership will become a footnote in history. Neo-feudalists led by their intellectual guru, Curtis Yarvin, tout a corporate monarchy in which all but a very few billionaires and millionaires live in indentured servitude at the beck and call of the upper classes. They want to bring back the Middle Ages and make themselves our lieges.

    But all is not lost. We will still have our iPhones on which to watch cat videos.

  • CarPlay helps Australian police scan license plates automatically

    ApplePoor said:
    The UK police have had a camera on the front of their squad cars for years. When they come up behind you, they know immediately if the road tax has been paid, the MOT inspection is current and there is a valid insurance policy in force. They also know the gender of the mandatory listed drivers on the insurance policy. So if a girl friend is driving the boy friend's car and no females are on the policy, there will be a pull over for clarification. Another feature is if there is no insurance, they have the option to take the car to the crusher right then.

    So big brother is watching every where. 
    Police in the US have side facing cameras as well as front and rear cameras. The cameras are constantly scanning license plates and automatically alert police to any suspicious vehicle – even parked cars. We sometimes see them at the mall driving up and down the rows of parked cars.

    If you bend your knee for the little things, how willing are you to bend your knee for the big things?
    Is rounding up documented immigrants along with the undocumented too much?
    Is taking away a child's citizenship because of the color of their skin too much?
    Would you let them put your child in a camp because of who they love?
    At what point does disagreeing with the government justify arrest?
    Are forced labor camps too much?
    Where do you draw the line?
