Despite what the libertarians claim here The Federal Reserve came about after a century of boom and bust and financial disasters involving banks.

Fun fact: You have no idea what you’re talking about. Not only am I not a libertarian, your own vaunted Fed admits to causing the Great Depression. What boom/busts were not created by private banks before the Fed? Oh, remember when the Second Bank got terrified of Andrew Jackson and purposely crashed the US housing market? I do.

...why the FR was needed in 1913…

It wasn’t.

...and more than ever is needed in 2018.

Hopefully you don’t starve when the Second Great Depression hits. Not insulting at all; I seriously just hope you learn from this nonsense.

...overlooking the banks…

I’m directly addressing the banks as the cause of this problem, though. You realize that inflation before the Reserve was -0.2%? Negative. From the founding of the country to 1913. And when the Reserve finally got what they wanted in 1971? Fucking asymptotic.

Before the unconstitutional Federal Reserve was enacted on the day before Christmas Eve 1913, The federal government was funded primarily through tariffs. Seeing as, you know, that’s how to keep a people out of slavery. Since the establishment of the PRIVATE CORPORATION–the federal reserve–the income tax has enslaved all citizens to its usury.

A restoration of tariffs is the first step toward abolishing the Federal Reserve, and consequently the income tax. As such, it should be supported by anyone who isn’t in favor of literal human slavery. Oh, and a reminder that the Romans made usury illegal because whereas even their chattel slavery was time-based, usury is forever.

The root issue here, however, is if users should be allowed to opt out of the Apple App Store.

They’re already allowed to opt out. Don’t download apps if you don’t like the App Store. There is absolutely no law that exists–or can ever exist–which says that Apple must be forced to allow third party content of ANY sort on their devices.

I understand that the top left “iPod” and “iPad” was just a holdover from the iPhone’s system where it shows you your carrier, but geezaloo this is a long time coming getting rid of that. Showing the date makes me think about the iPad replacing laptops… just a little.

Can the 1 finger gestures be disabled individually?

to open ios to others stores (to the user's discretion) would be good for consumers.

Enjoy your malware. Explain the legal obligation Apple has to give you other stores, considering its status in the market.
