Did you have many "corporations" in the third world country that you're from? No?

I thought it was amusing that you said Apple was a "stupid American company with American values", even though you're actually complaining about a UK law. You do know this isn't a thing in the US, right? Just your country?

Is there a way to resize windows with this gesture as well?

> we use taxes as a process to crowdsource funding more effectively

Effectively? It doesn't seem to me like most western governments allocate this funding "effectively" at all. How do we increase the accountability?

Actually, the description of that video says the production line was in Hungary.

But there was still a lot of electronics manufacturing and assembly in the US during the early 2000's as well, including iPods and iMacs.

You don’t need politicians to help you keep your personal data to yourself.

Why do European government websites do the same thing then? They’re also spreading propaganda?

You do realize it still needs to be transported from a port to customers inland, right?

It just seems like the only things we should be importing from across the globe are things that absolutely cannot be produced domestically. For example, I've heard that coffee beans only grow in certain climates, so that would be a commodity that makes sense to import.

Pretty much everything else, including this supposed Tunisian olive oil, just sound like luxury goods to me, and should be priced accordingly.

Why do you think it's a good idea to buy olive oil from Tunisia instead of from California? Are you aware of how much CO2 is released to ship a trivial commodity across the atlantic ocean?
