Make products WE want, rather than products you think we want or want us to want - and make them good by OUR standards, not yours.
Then we'll just buy them.

Make a USB-C O4 digital transceiver for cell phones that uses the Fly app, rather than making us use a controller. Or just make it possible to plug the existing one into a phone.
Then the Neo/Flip line will be truly portable AND powerful.

One of the most frustrating things about drone enthusiasts on YouTube (and this isn't a criticism, more just frustration on my part), that they're all about taking picture of themselves running or climbing or doing some kind of sport.
So that's the focus of all the feature analysis.

The question really shouldn't be "Who's cheating and living a life of luxury on their SNAP and ACA benefits?", rather it should be "HOW can anyone be living a life on their SNAP and ACA benefits - maybe they should get more?"
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Next prediction:
SCOTUS is going to find that since as President, Trump has the power to declare emergencies (there is precedent for this) and since IEEPA explicitly allows him to levy tariffs against threats to the economy, that his tariffs are legal.
They may duration limits on it, though.
