Internet rates have been more stable over the last 14 years than at any point in recent history. Even with the combined problems of covid recovery shocks and the Ukraine war it wasn’t going terribly until the inexplicable budget last week.

An iPhone probably last about 1000 charges (once a day for 3 years), so even 5c/charge would be $50, less than 5% of the total cost.

The fastest travel speed we can really understand is about the speed of sound (jet travel), most westerners have travelled at that speed. At jet speed it takes best part of a month just to get to the moon, to get to the sun takes 17 years.
