Are you paying a premium for a copycat?

Apple innovated with their first smartphone back in 2007, and then stopped. Apple has become a copycat company, waiting for others to innovate as they copy hardware and software (years later).

Marjorie Taylor Greene came into Congress in 2021 worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later worth around $25,000,000. 😳 Congress is just a giant insider-trading scheme.

Microsoft's head of AI doesn't understand why people don't like AI, and I don't understand why he doesn't understand because it's pretty obvious
Is it really "mindblowing" that people are skeptical of software that consistently doesn't do the things we're told it can do?

Remember during Covid when the stimulus checks went out? We were all amazed that the government could be so supportive and compassionate in a time of need.

Now, five years later, the government is refusing to fund SNAP, and we're all amazed that it can be so heartless and cruel. 😢
