You bought a product from a company known to lock people into their services then complain about this.

Was it the constant commercials that sold you? The fruit logo?

I'm with you.

We will all catch this unless we stay locked up until the vaccine comes.

So, expect everyone to catch it.

Just an idea (that would never happen)-

Why not make it like Engineering?

You do your 4 year undergrad and at your first job, no one trusts you. Your supervisor/senior engineer checks Everything you do. You are reserved for paperwork and unskilled manual labor which is also checked. After a few years (4) you get some Freedom, but still checked by your seniors. Anything important, even when you are a senior engineer goes through your Managers and directors.

I don't see why this system wouldn't work in medical. We build airbags and bridges. Both safety critical.

I would even say having 1 physician is more dangerous than having a team of Engineers with less Schooling.

Nah Apple takes advantage of their walled off system. They know they have users and changing to an alternative is too difficult.

It's a useless industry, it's a disposable luxury. I feel for the workers, but as a whole, less disposable luxuries sounds good for fiscal responsibility and productivity.

It has not worked for every test city that tried it. Why is this different?

Same but due to bad sales. Mine is postponed until people go back to work.

Hopefully 9 months of mortgage is enough to survive this.

Ancedote time.

My job was ending due to bad sales, my next job is on hold until people return to work.

Our daycare said they are charging us money but we can't come (they said this week only... But this is after we complained).

The only business but really affected? My wife's company who treats people 1 on 1. But who knows even that might be slowed down from paranoid customers.

None of those are paid by the federal government.

I think I'm with you. I don't think it can be contained anymore.

Even if it seems gone, it can pop up and we go on lockdown again?

I wonder if the lockdown people are anti-math.

If I didn't pay taxes my mortgage would be paid off, I could quit/work from home for a decade.

How much abundance would we have without the federal government?

I haven't considered that the lower class needs to buy Apple products as a status symbol.

Is this really a problem?

As an educated 10%er, seeing Apple products is an immediate red flag that the person falls for marketing.
