Tech in such as mobile phones and computers do not need new versions every year for modest pointless hardware updates that majority of ppl don't use. It's wasteful, needlessly expensive, environmentally damaging & really unnecessary. Seriously tired of having to update tech every 2 to 5 years.

Of course #Trump did. Trickle down economics doesn't work. We've seen this experiment fail repeatedly.

Sub-Lt. Agnes Wilkie wanted to spend her life helping others as a nurse.
She decided to take her nurse skills and enlist to serve in the Second World War.
