None of the phones I had to toss in the last few years were due to battery giving out. It was because they become too slow or weren't updated by the manufacturer. Well, one stopped charging and wasn't popular enough for local shop

The US is only very loosely constrained by its tax base. It does not lack funds. It has also been spending much more on education over the past decades[1]. With very little to show for it. [1] https://nces.ed.gov/programs&#x

Oh, come on. Salt flats are some of the oldest groundworks you can find in the world. You can see them all over the Mediterranean, on many islands, wherever it's relatively warm and close to a salty see/ocean. I'm sure these

Nah, in completely socialized systems doctors and nurses also usually want to have weekends and evenings off, hospitals aren't staffed as well as during business hours, and people try to limit the workload on their colleagues remaining

I don't mind the interventions, and the goal of the economy is to serve the people, not the other way round, but narrative that government "gave the workers more rights" is largely false. We became richer, thanks to the indus
