Most users will continue with the App Store with no interest in hunting down 3rd party stores asking for their CC info. One somewhat related item is TikTok and the ridiculous congressional hearing today. The only way they can ban it is to force Apple and Google to remove it from their App Stores. This is only possible because the only way to install an iPhone app is through the App Store. If side loading or 3rd Party App stores are created then the government will not be able to "remove apps". I am not overly familiar with Google, but know there are 3rd party stores and think you can side load apps. Good luck shutting TikTok down on Android phones. The dichotomy of the government wanting to control an app store, but also allow 3rd party app stores and even side-loading is absurd. Were TikTok or any other app "banned" and other options existed for loading it, people will do it because the App is so popular. A 3rd party App Store hosted in another country could survive just hosting banned apps. Additionally the problem with the government banning apps is that it will not only be TikTok as it never stops with one item being banned. Foot in the door means open the door.

How great would this be? Let's take this and push for opt-in privacy versus opt-out.

There is nothing to think about, ponder or analyze, including surveys and studies about how working outside the office is more productive when it comes to where you work. Unless you are the boss you work where told. They are being more than generous by not being 5 days a week so be thankful. the other option is to quit. Given all of the tech layoffs plenty of people are ready to replace you and they will not complain about where they have to work. 

Two things: First: Who determines the sales price? There always is the chance no one will pay what they want. Second: This is a guaranteed way to lose all younger voters who will not tolerate it going away. Massive government overreach.

More grift. Ran through $130 million of someone else's money with nothing to show for it. Now they regroup to jump on the latest buzzword train. There is not a chance I'd hand these grifters a penny yet someone ponied up another $100 million. It pays to have friends in high places, but I assume they would want a product.
