I’m just tired of the victimhood. How can we blame the system when people had forty YEARS to save and they saved nothing. The US savings rate is abysmal, and we know they _can_ save, because the savings rate spiked during the pandemic even

That reads like a gift to US and Chinese tech companies. Also explains why Apple isn’t launching in EU: “Like the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, the Act can apply extraterritorially to providers from outside the EU if they ha

It’s telling that a company as privacy conscious (relatively speaking) and as deep pocketed as Apple can’t figure out how to comply with EU regulations: “ Apple similarly said last month that it won't release its Apple Intelligence fea

Doesn’t appear to be. They may not be in compliance with EU law. Companies should be allowed to police their own stores in jurisdictions where that’s allowed. I’m glad the App Store isn’t a mess like it is on my Android device. It’s one of

Even if I did want to have kids, I wouldn’t have them to take care of me in old age. What if they move to Japan? Should I have them move back to the US to take care of me? Nah, we should build a society that can and does take care of its el
