And to de-Apple will be hard because I would have to use no-Apple and non-Google phone. Fortunately there is a pretty good alternative:

Or just don’t use any if these services. And don’t worry you will do just fine.
I am fully engaged in everything I need in my life without any Google, Meta services, TikTok, X, Starlink, CNN, etc.
And yes, I use Apple. I hope Tim Cook changes his stand soon, or his successor. Or I will de-Apple.

And all this while feeding the AI data centers with coal.

There should be a system where gov. pauses the student loan repayment indefinitely until borrower starts earning enough money to support their family. It should be based on income reported on tax filing.

Young people are our future. And they need a solid support for starting their careers, families, etc. Not bad credit right from the start. Student loans repayment system should be restructured. No job? No payments. Period. If the loans is by private lender, gov. should subsidize.

If EU is forced to ‘relax’ the digital markets rules, in exchange for lowering the 50 % steel and alum. tariffs, then European companies must offer non-American alternatives to tech. There are many. Does EU really want to be held hostage? Start here:

If TrumpCare ever existed, it would be a physical manifestation of an oxymoron. 😂

I remembered in the days of AOL, we stood in front of a bar and were talking about how great it is that we are living in times of start of something great that will advance civilization forward via shared knowledge and collaboration: the Internet. Boy were we wrong. I will never forget that moment.

I have never seen more spineless group of people than republicans in Congress. I hope that the Democrats will grow a spine and stand behind their colleagues, with the Constitution and against Trump.

The location feature is disabled by default because Musk and Zuckerberg know quite well that they are making millions on bot engagement and it helps enormously to their political agenda, which is analogous to Trump’s Putin’s, Orban’s … And most of the bots are controlled by likeminded authoritarians

The location feature should be required by law for all social media. We are being tracked real time via our phones, street cameras, purchases, etc. We've lost the location privacy long time ago. So, for the social media owners to argue that location feature would invade the user’s privacy is bull**t

I hope that by now everyone realizes that when everyone was saying that Musk is incompetent because he drove Twitter to the ground and lost billions on the purchase, he didn’t. His end goal was not to make money on Twitter, but on gov. contracts after he installed Trump as president.

I think it obvious that this was happening since Musk took over Twitter. The richest man in the world buys social media company so he can mis/disinform people. Then he influences elections so can install a president that will not investigate his companies.

MAGA is a movement inflated by Musk.

Same type of people and politicians that exploited ‘socialism’ during communist regime in Eastern European countries are now using the word ‘socialism’ to scare and intimidate the American middle and lower class. Same people, different coats.They are called Republicans.

So, know-nothing Johnson things it is 'wildly inappropriate to encourage young troops do disobey (illegal) orders' but he also things that 'we have got to raise the bar in Congress' and protect pedophiles.

And let’s not forget that this 1 trillion in ‘tariff savings’ was paid by you and me. To offset 3.4 trillion of tax cuts for the super rich. And it’s still not enough. I guess the tariffs will have to go even higher so the oligarchs are satisfied. Buying my next iPhone? …Don’t think so …
