This is dead wrong. Please check your facts. 6 deaths. Many in bad shape. Most still sick. Honestly, people should be scared. Leadership is doing everything they can to prevent that.

Not like a normal app. Not like an android phone. I will never get an iPhone until I can install whatever apps I want.

If this actually retails for 199, I will be very surprised.

"The way most people use Facebook is more of an RSS feed rather than a 1999 Geocities personal website."
Very true and Twitter is better for this in general. I keep a Twitter feed running at all times on 2nd monitor.

Could not agree more! For me, its actually created a backlash to the point I hate everything about diversity.
China may win in the end because of purely this issue.

The goal of all welfare should be temporary support.
At the end of the day, its just other people paying for someone else to get free stuff.

At what point do you feel the USA will have enough immigrants? It's already a nation of immigrants!

People are joining because Tesla is scaring them into it. Musk is a dumbass, but his idea self-driving is happening now may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Consumers LOVE it. So even having some level of driving assistance will win you more customers.

Whats scary is we are still basically in pump mode from the last recession. The gov will not have much power to "fix" the next one. Not to mention the major debt many states carry now such as IL.

We are past bubble stage with Bitcoin IMO. It has failed to become much other than a bullshit investment vehicle. People only worried about how high it can go, instead of actually using it daily.

People need to realize there is not enough for everyone. Apple just hit 1 billion iphones. Facebook is close to 2 billion. There are 7.5 billion people on earth. They all want iphones, facebook, AC, food, clean water. You can see where this is going and it's not good.
I personally think its almost made worse by the internet and people being connected, they see and feel what they are missing. Most Africans, for example, would kill to be in Europe / USA.

I use Robinhood daily and love it. Low level traders could care less if HFT are making a penny off them. Also you can put limit orders.......
No way I could trade the way I do and still make money if I was paying 7$ or more per trade. Crazy the industry can charge that much.

You should be ashamed. Accident of birth is a crazy idea. Everyone born in Africa is just an accident? Should they all be transplanted to the EU or USA? EU is already getting close to collapse with USA not far behind. Maybe as the last lights of the west blink out forever, you will understand your ignorance.
