This has been happening since the dawn of civilization. Why are you so upset about it happening now?

It is interested that we have 2 projects with huge solar shields; JWST and the Parker probe

Unless your taxes are really simple I’d suggest hiring a professional to do it for you. It is money well spent

The iPhone SE has a devoted following because of its size. There is a huge market for people with smaller hands.

I was hoping for the headphone jack to make a comeback but I think that’s a lost cause at this point

I think you are being disingenuous. Yes it is suboptimal but we don't need public transportation covering the entire country. When you are trying to solve for the use case of dense urban areas it is far more efficient and optimal to have a functional public transport system
