Facts matter. Fair play matters.
I believe in truth, kindness, and paying it forward (happy to pay more taxes to help others in need).

Democracy thrives when we protect voting rights, truth, and compassion.

This doesn’t happen in Canada… a social democracy… you may wait a little longer for your bunion to be looked at, but she would get her surgery… and before you ask… the list forgot subsidized education…

Here’s some math I did on a iPhone manufactured in 🇺🇸:

Assuming 🇺🇸 manufacturing would cost $1,900–$2,300 vs $600 in China (see chart) & that Apple has a 50% margin, an iPhone would cost $3,800 & $4,600* to maintain profitability.

*final amount doesn’t assume factory building costs or tariffs
