Contract subsidies are kind of coming back in the form of "trade in bill credits.". Previously you'd sign a 2 year contract and they would subsidize your phone, however; I just got $800 of trade in credit at Verizon for a phone they normally give $150 for.
The catch, of course there are many... the bill credits are over 3 years, and in my case fully offset the cost of the monthly phone purchase price; if you leave you need to pay off the remaining balance, and if you upgrade you lose your credits. Also you need to be on an unlimited plus plan.
However; I now have a new phone with no additional monthly payments. The last Samsung I had made it 5 years, and the new one actually has a serviceable battery!
It's literally come to the point where you can almost guarantee doing the opposite of what any member of the GOP says, is actually the right thing to do.
I live in Florida, he's a total piece of shit pandering to lunatics to attempt to be to the right of Trump...
I got my booster Monday evening, despite this chuckle fuck and his supposed doctor "surgeon general." Oh and I'm well under 65...
I don't know where you got that info from but that is certainly not the norm... There are Tesla cabs in Vegas with over a million miles, and most of these battery packs retain close to 90% of their capacity even after 10 years. I'm sure there are exceptions, but 3 years is silly.
Yes there are problems and hurdles to overcome but I'd rank that pretty low.
I find solace in the fact that 50 cents out of every dollar of his campaign money is being spent on legal fees at the moment. His main PAC had a balance of over 100 million and sank to under 5 million. This was all prior to the George charges, which I imagine is going to radically increase his legal exposure.
These people are systematically transferring hundreds of millions to the ultimate con man.
GPT has been utter garbage lately. I feel as though it's somehow become worse. I use it as a search engine alternative and it has RARELY been correct lately. I will respond to it, telling it that it is incorrect, and it will keep generating even more inaccurate answers... It's to the point where it almost becomes entirely useless, where sometimes it used to find some of the correct information.
I don't know what they did in 4.0 or whatever it is, but it's just plain bad.
There were many factors that changed people's opinions of him, and for me it has absolutely nothing to do with "the media."
Remember when he randomly called a guy a pedophile on Twitter who saved the kids in the cave rescue, all because they didn't use his submarine idea?
That was the turning point for me 5 years ago, and he's gone downhill ever since. The reason he was the golden child of tech for many left leaning individuals is because he was pushing forward electric vehicles in a manner no one else had the will to.
He also happens to be a piece of shit as a human being... Nothing to do with "the media."
Admitting she is wrong about a single fact would bring the entire house of cards tumbling down... Imagine having to admit you are wrong about everything you have come to represent. It would come with soul crushing pain to your ego, and these people can't confront that.
How much VC is really being invested at the moment? I know a variety of people at start ups and the money is very tight at the moment given the current interest rate environment.
I grew up here, have family here and have built a life here. It really is awful how much the state is being destroyed, so much has changed since 2016, it is unreal.
The propaganda has been incredibly effective here, and it is absolutely disheartening.
