Definitely going from 2015 MacBook Air to this new one for my personal at-home coding laptop, as long as I like the keyboard when trying it out. I had really been wanting to upgrade for Retina & better processor but I knew they would up

The mid-to-long term issue will be demand contraction. Small businesses under stress, service workers not paid or let go completely, workers in general laid off, etc. All this will lead to the average person being under financial duress wit

People waited in line for 3, 4, even 7 hours in black/Latino neighborhoods and on college campuses in Texas and California last night. They close voting sites in these places, sometimes the day of the election: https://www.t
