Part of the reason I give iPhones to my grandmas and aunts is because of exactly this. 

No matter what they download, they will not destroy their phone.

I choose security with my eyes closed. 

If you want a platform where you can do whatever, it already exists, it's called Android, just go away.

If this doesn't represent how out of touch our elite class is, I don't know what does.  Not to slam AI at all here, but this is a story about a former Apple design chief who "unveiled" a.....logo.  But wait, it's better.  It's a logo for an abstract "sustainability" initiative pushed by professional climate lunatic, hypocrite and royal bag of douche, Prince Chaahhles.  I get why AI would cover it...Jonny Ive was responsible for such much that is Apple.  But this guy seems to have become a caricature of himself.  Remember the parodies about (fake) Apple product introductions? That's nearly what this is.  I'd like it better if he, you know, designed a beautiful product that was functional and helped the environment. 

Regardless of the merits of the logo, when you have nothing to say about the central questions of our time, you resort to calling people ‘hypocrites,’ it’s easy, and it’s a form of pointless ‘whataboutism.’ But, the simple truth is that the conservative intends to conserve only power and privilege, nothing else. Certainly NOT nature. They deeply resent anyone who points out problems, crises, or the insanity of their beloved political-economic system. So, they resort to slander, as they did with Rachel Carson, Dr King, and continue to do with Prince Charles, Al Gore and Greta Thunberg. 

First, I wasn't aware that I owed you a book report on the "central questions of our time."  If you would like to discuss so-called climate change, its impacts and potential solutions, I'm happy to do that.  

Secondly, I notice it's become a fashionable deflection to scream "whataboutism!!!" when leftist hypocrisy is exposed.  Our elites (Chaaahhles, other royals, politicians, actors, billionaires, etc.) frequently fly all around the world and use massive gas-powered motorcades (like Biden's 85 vehicle one at COP) to lecture everyone on the dangers of fossil fuels, eating meat and dairy, driving cars and other activities that most of the planet does.  They crow on about an "emergency" while they are emitting more carbon than the average person could in years.  So yes, it's hypocrisy.  Utter hypocrisy.  And since they all have enough resources to overcome the expense and inconvenience of high fuel and food prices, home prices, blackouts, high taxes, and supply shortages, it's pure, arrogant elitism.  

Third, you clearly know precisely d*ck about conservatives.  In addition to ignoring the utter hypocrisy of someone like Prince F*cking Charles talking about "privilege," your view of "the conservative" is ignorant and two-dimensional.   I happen to be a conservative and believer in liberty.  I, too, have things like solar panels (which covers nearly 100% of my electric use) and an electric lawn mower.  I'm likely going to buy an electric vehicle within the next few years. My principles cause me to support things like low and simpler taxes, school choice, limited government, as well as gun and speech rights. They also cause me to support national infrastructure projects, our military and legal system, police and fire, public parks and spaces, and sensible regulation of our capitalist system--including environmental regulation.  

Finally, I want to identify and hear about problems and crises so we can develop solutions that will improve our lives and planet. But that doesn't mean I'm going to listen to political whores who know little to nothing about science and often have their own agendas.  I'm not going to listen to media-created, phony characters like Greta Thunberg (who, now that she's 18, I'm allowed to call a twat).   I'm not going to listen Al Gore, who has been wrong about every single climate prediction since 1989.  No, thanks.  What I'll do instead is look at the actual data and draw conclusions about the scope of the problem, it's potential impacts, and potential solutions.  If you want to get into that, let me know.  Otherwise, good day.
