There's certainly an argument to be made that it's more expensive than one would like. But on the question of not including a wall a charger, I imagine if this is intended for use as a travel charging device that the expectation is you bring the wall charger you normally use with you? That's what I would end up doing with it, anyway.

Except how many people have a spare 30w brick laying around? Since Apple has never included anything more than the paltry 5w cube with iPhones and even the iPad chargers were only 20w I'd bet not many.

Wondering if this silly whining and complaining is going to last as long as when Apple gave floppy discs, Flash, and the microphone jack the boot.

Time to get over it. Whining on forums is not going to bring back chargers.

I am wondering why they just don't auto enroll every developer account.   They have all the data.  

Because you have to disclose every developer account that you own, and all accounts are taken into consideration.  Apple has no idea who ultimately owns and controls a developer account since they could be set up under different legal entities.  For example, Epic controls several accounts.

Only problem is the company will pull all the people that made the same bad governmental decisions in CA to TX. Eventually Texas will eventually end up ruined like Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, etc.

Texas is a shithole, and no one wants to live there, which is precisely why housing is so cheap. When it becomes more like California it will be because people want to live there and drive up prices, not because of "bad governmental decisions."

tinting could be illegal in many countries.

Tinting the front screen IS illegal in many countries. People do it quite a lot. Those who do are usually those with something to hide. If you want to get stopped by the law in major cities then this is an invitation to them to do just that.

All car windows are tinted, including the windshield, from the factory. There is no such thing as 100% VLT glass in any country, and it is in fact, perfectly legal.

Some jurisdictions limit the degree of tinting. That is not the same thing as totally illegal.

Does Moore’s law continue on but without Intel in the mix? 

Moore's law is an observation by a person of the periodic increased of the number of transistors on a chip, based on the historical evolution of semiconductor manufacturing capabilities. It is not rooted in any science.  Moreover, the number of transistors on a chip is not the sole (or even the primary) determinant of chip performance.
