yes that's one way of looking at globalization, advanced economies export expensive and stable currencies to less advanced parts of the world in exchange for labor. That's the early 20s century model perfected by the Brits. Obviou

It's just simply way too expensive to make things in America. We can build all the $B factories we want in the rust belt but shareholders will move it to places like Mexico at the first sign of profit. I'm seeing a real flow of so

Oh come off it. Lots of professions like journalism are supported by ad dollars and work for a company who makes money via ads. Influencers are no different than working for a news corp as a journalist, just without the "noble" fa

That's correct. I don't know their scope. But there could be many ways to expand it. For example FB has an sdk that you can install in your app and then follow your user across the internet and serve ads to them. Apple could do th

Hard to say. Warranty covers "normal usage", maybe defined by mild californian weather. Severe heat or cold wrecks havoc on battery life. Even in southern Canada I am certain you won't get anywhere near the 8 full years, now
