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. -

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? -

iPhone 17 - Eight upgrade-worthy features rumored for fall 2025
I had to turn off my Always-on display (iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18.2) because it kept crashing – the display would turn black and nothing would wake it up. I could hear it working but would have no choice but a hard reset to get the screen back. I don't really care because now it actually wakes when I need it. Stand-by keeps working at night despite what anybody says.
