For a company with so much cash, squeezing little vendors doesn’t particularly sound so ethical.  I’m a big fan of Apple,  but these monopolies are becoming too large for their own good.  

When someone types in “Washington DC” or Fresno, CA it takes them to an exact specific point — most likely the city center.  It is possible that exact point was not accessible.  Did anyone try a specific address like the US Capital Building or 100 Pennsylvania Avenue?

When will there be a decent TB3 dock with 90+ Watt charging?

The Caldigit TS3 dock is 87 Watts.  It keeps my 16” MacBook fully charged powering normally 2 4K displays, external USB hard drive, USB powered lit keyboard, wireless mouse dongle and sometimes 3 4K displays (with the third display plugged directly into the opposite side of the MacBook).  

You are aready paying $876 a phone by drinking water with lead in it, having over 13% of the population receiving food stamps, and driving on crowded highways with potholes causing the average driver several hundred dollars in extra repairs a year. Do you know that the US commonwealth of Puerto Rico has 1/3rd of its residents living on food stamps provided by the US Federal government?  Seems to me Apple could build a plant there. That's okay though.  Keep making these cases for massive inflation in product costs and have Apple keep billions and billions of dollars offshore until the point where there is no one left to buy an iPhone anyway.  It's ugly capitalism, and I am as capitalistic as they come (I own my own business and work harder than most) but the Rockfellers had basically slave labor and children building their mansions before there was regulation.  Ironically though, the genius in Tim Cook avoiding taxes and keeping the money offshore has been almost completely negated by one little factor -- the rise in the US Dollar.  Imagine what we could have done with all the money if he didn't lose as much as 30% of it to exchange rate fluctuations in recent months!
