Let's not forget that it wasn't really worth what Galaxy Brain Elon paid for it. The board looked for anyone else to buy it and no one was interested at that price.

Yeah they were trying to keep it cost neutral. Bennett was a conservative republican.

Employer based insurance is possibly one of the worst systems we could have come up with if we were designing it from scratch.

That's where it gets complicated. Your employer pays a lot more than $100. Your taxes would go up and your employer could be mandated to pass the healthcare savings on to you to largely offset your tax increase. The Wyden-Bennet plan predated the Affordable Care Act and would have mandated that. Obama's healthcare people were concerned that would be very complex and would go back on his promise to allow people to keep their current doctors and insurance. So we ended up with a huge expansion in Medicaid instead (which was great but didn't give us the systemic change we really needed).

I lost half the people I'd gotten on signal when they removed sms. People liked it well enough when they could do all their messaging from one app on Android.

It would be fixed both ways if Apple adopted rcs

I just expect them to make the interoperability as shitty as possible

Unless the EU makes them, they're not adopting rcs. I could see them putting out an imessage app for Android though. Probably ad supported to make the experience extra shitty for us. They'd quickly own the messaging market, at least in the US.

You got one to give out? I'll take one if so
