Losing $1 billion distracts from the many billions they get from 30% App Store fees.

If the printing press decided what gets printed in what order and who sees it.

Again, it is a metaphor, don't take to too literally.

Blacks were slaves, whites and immigrants were not.

Can you picture slavery as digging out of a hole (debt)? Until breaking even, you are subject to compound debt.

Is lunch free in schools outside the United States?

Breaking the law by those enforcing it is meh?
