    What part of universal health care, higher minimum wage and lower housing costs sounds like "utopia" to you? That's just the system we have, but slightly better and completely achi…

    I feel like when I'm presented with most modern criticism of Apple devices/software I tend to agree, but despite all the mostly valid criticisms I see batted about, who is doing co…
