But what's the gain? People will buy just as much electronic crap. It will just have USB-C ports instead of lightning ports. And it's not like USB 3.1 Type C will be the top end forever. People will still replace their old stuff w

iPhone users who buy new models with USB-C would have to replace any old stuff that uses the lightning connector. All this proposal would do is force a bunch of stuff to become obsolete. How would it significantly reduce ewaste? Most phon

What? Who is arguing more speech = more freedom? Speech restrictions limit the subject matter if speech, not the sheer volume of speech overall. You also seem to be conflating the freedom to say what you want with the right to be listened

Southerners would be no less free. They would have fewer rights. Rights != Freedom Freedom is the absence of restraint. A right is an entitlement. They often conflict with one another. We have many laws which sacrifice our freedoms in excha

...yes? Absolutely yes. Freedom would certainly increase if we allowed that to happen. How could anything else be true? It may not be healthy, enjoyable, or productive, but it would definitely be more free . I never argued that 100% freedo

Woops, you're absolutely right. I had the division flipped. Then that's a considerable amount lower than the US median income, which makes the difference in median wealth even more suspicious.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, median total income for Australians in 2017-2018 was 49,805 AUD (68,232 USD)[0]. According to the US Census Bureau, median total income for Americans in 2018 was 63,179 USD. That's abou
