Oh yeah, a company whose business model is taking everyone’s data and selling it is going to help me secure my data. I guess there’s one born every minute…
If it rids the world of captchas, I’m all for it!
I am thinking the same thing as the author of the article. Long time Apple Fanboy here. I remember Steve Jobs doing things for free to improve customer loyalty. Now that Ernst Röhm, oh I mean Tim Cook is kissing up, I’m looking for an off ramp. After the dividend is paid my Apple stock is gone.
The other issue I have is when you go to a local store they don’t stock items, they say “we can order it”.
I needed a gasket for my Kamado Joe grill. I went to my local dealer. They didn’t have one and proceeded to order one for me - the salesman was looking on the Amazon site! Why would I buy it from them? I haven’t been back since.
Might not be everyone’s dream but a union tradesperson can make a living. Now it looks like jobs will be available. I’m a retired union electrician with a paid off second snowbird home in Florida. Funny thing is with in a stone’s throw from that house are three other retired union trades people snowbird homes.

I will never buy another Belin product. If they screw us once they will screw us again! Teaching these companies a lesson by never buying their products again is the only option consumers have in this day and age.
Kermit should have talked about trophy wives, like the great orators of our day.
There is a line for sales tax why not a line for the largest tax ever imposed? I thought he loved tariffs, why not be proud of what you did?
Conservatism is the fear of everything: change, new ideas, people that don’t look like us, education, science, the list goes on and on... Why do you think they love their guns so much? They are scared.
You can’t go back to “the good ol’ days” because THEY’RE GONE!

6. Took even more ketamine.
7. Gave my son some pointers on how to improve his performance in the next press conference.
8. Took some more ketamine.
9. Failed to unload 400 million dollars worth of un-sellable crappy trucks on the tax payers so I’m not fired from my company.
10. Hey, where did my ketamine go?
11. Drew some more swastikas on my notebook covers and practiced my excellent salute.
12. Ordered some ketamine from that great guy at HHS.
13. At night I thought about why I’m still so unhappy deep down inside.

I’m an unhappy American. With D-ump’s anti science and education stance Europe (and china) will have an unprecedented chance to lure some great talent. With grants being suspended, colleges, government science, and technology professionals will have to find employment, Europe would be very attractive to a lot of educated people in the USA. My daughter holds a phd and is on the chopping block, I plan to tell her and her husband if they get job offers in Europe, I would gladly sell everything here and move to Europe too!
