I've never gotten an ad for anything in iOS, but I also do not use iCloud or Apple Music or Apple TV. At least the ads seem to be contained within their own apps, then.

That's a good example, it's important not to be too pedantic with the definition since everything passes through middleboxes, or at least WiFi/routers or switches. Even so, it seems like the apps that are the most centralized

Part of this is due to many institutions, companies, governments, etc, just closing 'for the next month or so'. Then after a few weeks, they extend it another month, and so on. It seems like many expect the pandemic to just magica

If the US had a proper supply of masks, it would certainly be nicer to see them wearing them, though. But you're correct that given how terrible the supply seems to be, it might be the best thing to say.

There have been considerations to up the requirements of purchasing leveraged ETFs, which go up to 3x. But also keep in mind most people can easily be approved to buy options, and easily lose 100% or more of their net work in hours.
