    I’ve got family members who support Trump and every time I ask them what it’s going to take for them to be convinced he’s a criminal, their response is that it’s purely a political play due to the democrats being scared of losing against Trump. So let me ask all the lefties here, how confident are you that Trump won’t win?

    I wonder what they would say if you asked them to consider the possibility that they could be wrong. And what the consequences are in voting for him if they are wrong. Just be careful. Consider showing them this video.

    Not to mention the measly 2 hour battery life. It’s fine for now since it can be used all-day plugged in, but more apps will come out that will encourage you to be untethered and walk around the real world environment (lol).

    For example, I’m imagining apps that help people while cooking or doing DIY home repairs.

    Furthermore, 2 hour battery life won’t fly when these headsets become a standard in school and office environments.

    Finally, Apple showed people using the headset while on a plane as well as just casually hanging out with family members. No way can you watch a full movie on a plane without being plugged in, and no way do I want to have to constantly plug myself into a wall outlet while I’m hanging out with real humans. 

    You can plug it into an extra battery and wear the battery on your back like an oxygen tank.

    Jeez can't escape the hyper-polarized twitter shitshow even on actualized forums now. Is there anything good that can come out of these outraged twitter "discussions"?

    I here what you're saying. People will learn to communicate in a more peaceful, constructive, understanding manner. Until then they will continue to polarize themselves and create more of what they hate until they get it.


  5. Okay, here are the graphs that I mentioned finding earlier. It looks like income started to increase again at about 2012 to 2013 and poverty started decreasing around 2014.

    I'm not trying to butt heads with anybody here and I could be wrong but it kind of looks like Mr. Trump was at least partially riding the coattails of the previous administration.

  6. Nice graphs. I posted some not long ago you should check them out. It looks like middle class income is increasing and inflation is decreasing! I plan on finding some on poverty level which is very important too.

    Taxes should be as low as possible while financing the government’s activity generally speaking. It is my understanding that the 2017 tax cuts were a short-term fix and added to the debt long term. They created a bubble of short-term unsustainable growth and were disproportionate giving higher breaks to corporations and millionaires.

    But that's okay, nothing is personal,  we're adjusting things and building on the positives.
