    I just don’t get how an already highly profitable, premium device maker raking in billions of dollars a year makes people nervous by not making as money billions as expected. It’s …

    > A lot of the complaining you hear from Swedish people is because they haven't really experienced anything different. They have no idea how comfortable life is here (still). As a …

    This is quite a different mindset from the American mindset of individualism and meritocracy which works for some but not for many. If I never had to worry about being bankrupted b…

    I'll second that. Due to a couple of significant illnesses growing up my family would have been bankrupted two times over if we lived in the US. Also, when one of my parents passed…

    Interesting that corporate America typically likes to have cookie cutter schedules that often intrude into our mornings. However, Jeff Bezos, arguably one of the more successful bu…

    Plus if I want to watch current TV or more recent shows alongside originals it’s available on Hulu. Netflix has lost a lot of the more bingeable shows and it really doesn’t have an…

    Also a president with mental issues uses his powerful position to call the press “the enemy of the people”. Then his mentally unstable followers send bombs or get their hands on as…

    There’s just no end to the abuse of our data is there? Sorry, no Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant for me.

    I agree with this. Amazon could still be a huge marketplace if they stocked the virtual shelves and only sold legitimate items or their own brands. Target does it and that is where…
