I first thought the first part is a joke. Didn’t know that. You make a good point below too.

Does this mean Apple is a major ad-tech player involved in buying and selling their own customer data (through partner comany but that does not matter much does it)?

Keep dreaming buddy. You may love your ruler, but that is a one way relationship. Your ruler doesn’t even think about you.

You think in your country the government serves you. That is a very naive way of thinking. Why would they love you so much, is it because you bother to show up at a polling station once in a couple of years, or is there some other source of attraction?

> a few skilled jobs are granted the extreme privilege of time off, for the rest you grant nothing. Are they peasants in your eyes?
No not at all. I believe lower skilled workers are on this position due to the policies we have had for some time now, which most of them actually support. I respect all workers that contribute honestly.

I may agree that 25 days off at a certain job is better for that individual, or even me. What i am against is creating creating government rules that impose such schemes into everyone without their consent.

No, i am not the one advocating for mandatory schemes, which some people push into the rest, usually through government. By default no such schemes exist, so i am not the one that meddles in others business. If you want to get involved you are free to do so.

It is fine to have opinions. I may even agree with your opinion. Pushing it to others is what i am against.

Yeah, you nailed with the word choice here.
Dictator needs to be a ruler, that also you cannot get rid of. In most of the us you can ditch your boss tonight.
It looks like you want a real dictator to “protect” you from possible poor decisions you can make. Which is fine, just don’t get me and others like me involved please.

The FAA as government gets huge support from big corporations (bribes and other help, partnerships and funding), so of course has to do something for the favor. I doubt some random youtuber(s) can offer continued support to the government, so they are not at all in a similar power position. I am amazed that this is surprising to educated people.

I don’t think the (us) government is lending to the banks, it is already on close to trillion dollar deficit, if anything it is borrowing from banks.
“People” in my comment includes groups of people too (eg companies, governments). Shouldn’t one be able to set the price of borrowing, why we must have one party deciding for everyone else.

It kind of makes sense. Both are closed systems that place rules what is good or bad for their members. If we cannot trust a person to choose whether a certain salary is good or bad for them, why would we trust them to decide what apps are good or bad for them?
