“ The device would work with Trump Mobile's service plan. For $47.45 per month, Trump Mobile's "47 Plan" (2), which operates on the T-Mobile network, claims to be "better than the rest," offering 100% U.S.-based support; extensive 5G coverage; unlimited talk, text and data; telehealth services; roadside assistance, and international calling to over 230 countries and territories.”

If you fell for that you deserve to lose your money.

Thats more expensive that my top tier tmobile plan which is $120 for 3 lines.

This is actually cheaper than what my parents currently pay Verizon every month--somehow they're spending $161 every month on two lines, with no special services, and they're on ancient phones (an iPhone SE and an iPhone X). They know they need to switch, but have no idea how to pick a replacement service. (I'm going to sort it out in the next week or two.)

A lot of people are still on ancient plans like $80/5GB since they don't know they can change providers and still keep their number. Or they're old and avoid changing any aspect of their lives. The mobile companies are fine with "grandfathering" these customers.

Mobile companies will never, however, grandfather plans which have better value. They will happily grandfather more expensive plans, hell they won't even tell you.

There's nothing libertarian about MAGA. It's all about using the immense power of government to hurt the right people, and seizing every opportunity to grow and expand that power with that same goal in mind.

Thats not what i meant. Only in a society who no one cares about the others and thinks its always the fault of their own, this is normal. Otherwise we would have guard rails to protect us.

> There's nothing libertarian about MAGA

Nor conservative, for that matter, aside from some nostalgic dream of social conservatism, I suppose. My MAGA family members love to talk about conservatism as some noble thing, often describing it in neat, simple, pragmatic terms, and then are dumbfounded when confronted with the notion that they don't act according to those principles at all. They still see themselves as conservative, oddly enough.

There's also nothing particularly libertarian about the failures of American education. Like, what, government isn't involved?

“ They even discussed opening a mutually-branded clinic together in Abu Dhabi.”

Going after the big money, fad-following elite? Or does the locale mitigate the (financial) risk?

Less regulation and less oversight, easier to access and give unapproved treatments, less training and licensure requirements, less safety and compliance, less meddling medical authorities wanting to ensure safety and efficacy.

They might just as well have asked if he had a meeting with AI.

Call me paranoid, but a tech bro backing a shock collar company? In today’s political climate?

I love this. You should expand on this. There’s a “silly phone app to play with while you’re waiting for something” in here somewhere.

So…Copilot is the Fox News of AI?

Entertainment isn’t the same as propaganda.

I think they don't mean propaganda, but "entertainment." OP is referring to Fox's legal defense here:

https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-...

This legal defense effectively frames the show as opinion/entertainment, not journalism, to shield it from defamation claims.

I think all three of us would agree about your propaganda stance, too.

I see, thanks for taking the time to clarify.
