Aren’t they generally on by default these days and you have to opt in when some app asks for permission? (of course some platforms seem to handle it better than other in large part because Apple has direct control on the apps their users ar

Apple doesn’t seem to have much interest in competing in the low-margin/“low-end” cheap smartphone market. On the high-end their relationship (in US and some other rich countries anyway) seems to be closer to what Apple and MS had in t

Steam doesn’t distribute apps on Android either? Is it even something they’d want to do?

Paradoxically there is probably no other developed country where finding work as an un undocumented illegal immigrant is easier than in the US. While immigration laws there are very strict by western standards.

Well.. to be fair both sides used violence and governments generally (with very few exceptions) sided with the business owners.

Not sure high interest will result in any meaningful decrease in real estates prices. Best case they might stay stagnant for a few years which would allow wages to catching up a bit.
