China’s implosion is coming ... their population numbers will fall off a cliff ... from killing their own... cheating to win the smartphone race is the least of their worries.

We have a local crackpot in our neighborhood that scurries around at night (like a rat) placing leaflets on our car windshields about the dangers of 5G.  It's random so we're never sure when she'll do it.  Honestly, if I catch her doing in the act, I'm going to rip her a new orifice.  It's embarrassing that today's world allows such ignorance to flourish.

Well she may not be completely wrong - high doses of high frequency, high energy wave lengths cause ailments. There’s a reason they put a lead blanket on you when you get an X-ray. Xrays can cause cancerous growth by disrupting and destroying elements within your cells. I wouldn’t want a 5G transmitter next to my bedroom blasting away 24x7. Am I saying  Xrays and 5g are the same - no
they are very far apart on the spectrum. But think about it ... long term constant bombardment by any type of radio wave to human cells can’t be healthy. Some have linked testicular cancer to cell phones kept in pants pockets.

The US has exactly 100x the land mass of South Korea. Imagine all the 5g towers that need to be installed and different telecoms will each need to build their own (mostly). Far from the national efforts other countries have. It will be a technology for densely populated cities, and the telecoms first priority is to build out to maximize profits ... not for ubiquitous coverage ... that may never happen.

Epic is willing to pay lawyers millions but not Apple - the company that created the platform they need to develop and sell their products. And worse, they are willing to hurt their own customers because they don’t want to pay Apple for their services and rent for their virtual storefront. I wish I could tell my mortgage company, town tax collector, store landlord that I don’t want to pay anymore.

Big win if this happens - Roku has a very large install base
