    Maybe he can help the U.S. in this.
    It will be hard but possible if the business environment such as taxes are made friendlier , but certainly not with current tax you to death  people in charge . 

    Not a political statement but just stating a fact 
    Taxes are not even a real factor. In fact if it were you wouldn’t have individuals amassing over $200 billion each. 

    The issue is that our citizens haven’t made the $3.15 an hour they make to build iPhones in China in over 25 years as it went up up $4.75 in 1996 and then $5.15 in 1997. The last move was to $7.25 in 2009. Think about that. People working jobs that pay minimum wage with poor conditions and no benefits saw their worth increase by $4.10 over 25 years. That’s about a 16 cent raise per year. Trust me inflation was a lot more that 16 cents. 

    For instance, a Honda Civic started at $11,000 in 1996 they start at 22,000 now. 

    Playing taxes down at average rates it’s $417 per month plus insurance, gas and maintenance. So, maybe about $647 monthly for one of the cheapest cars on the market. . 
    Keep in mind their take home if they are lucky enough to get 40 hours a week is $987 so they would have $340 left for fun stuff like shelter, food, and medicine. 

    Ironically, the ones currently in office have fought the others to provide support for those who have not made out like bandits over the last too year while everyone else suffered. They have done what was needed while the others did nothing but fight for power and get rich.

    She will still get some benefit from it since her husband co-wrote it.

  • Jony Ive's LoveFrom unveils Terra Carta Seal recognizing corporate sustainability efforts

    This design is difficult to look at. It’s like he is trying so hard to distance himself from his Apple work that he has divorced himself from the qualities the made his work appealing. Even his company name LoveFrom fells nonsensical and contrived for no reason. LoveForm would have made sense and embraced his design Image.

    Or perhaps an easier 'fix'... stop using Safari.
    Yeah, use Chrome that installs a hidden server on your computer that transmits even when you are not using the browser. The IT department at the hospital I worked at had a fit because people kept downloading it and Google had redesigned it so the only way to block downloading it was to impact the function of the network.

    Like my wife always tells me when I complain about some design feature or lack of in my new car, she tells me to design my own car.  The developers are free to design their own smartphone and App Store like I can start my own car company.  I like Apple protecting me and my smartphone.  When Apple stops doing that I’ll go back to a dumb flip phone!
    So no one should ever complain about any design feature in anything because that person should just design their own product instead? Best tell Apple to close the beta programs then. And shut down Github while you're at it, too.
    They are not a consumer requesting a feature. They are a business who wants to the government to for another business to do business with them no matter what. Apple makes zero from the COVID tracking app the developed with Google to ensure it was cross platform, secure and unable to be highjacked by criminals and scammers. 

    Apple gets to decide who uses their goodwill and consumer trust. That is especially important when there is a real threat making it easier for scammers to exploit users if given the chance. That is likely who these people are and they are mad that Apple cut them off at the pass.
