That depends on the government in question. For example, the Canadian government does not have a claim on any kind of lottery or game show winnings.

Oh, boy. Here we go again.
I want my kids to have the tools they need to succeed, and I realize a smartphone has nearly become essential at a certain age, but they also control the lives of many people. Technology is an amazing tools, but it has been designed to be highly addictive. Kids have enough problems to deal with, and I don’t want to make things harder for them.
—- edit —- I suppose what I’m really trying to say is that I want my children to first learn healthy habits.
That’s about what I’m expecting. 12 and 14 aren’t that different.
I definitely think tech should be a part of their life, but a personal smartphone is something I personally feel can wait.
Absolutely! I only just bought my first house, which means I have a bit of a higher mortgage, but a house is simply a tool for survival.
That’s a very valid concern. Personally, I think parents should keep their kids away from phones much longer. While I’ve only got a kid on the way, I’m hoping to keep them off of smartphones until high school.
That’s awesome! I’ve never heard of a pi zero being used that way.
My argument is that we should be going after more than just Apple. Apple is clearly the most at fault here, but that shouldn’t excuse companies like Google and Samsung.
I definitely agree, all I meant is I think they should probably also be going after other companies as well.
I’m not really sure that’s a fair argument. Android generally pushes Google Play, and Samsung devices push Samsung pay. Sure, Android has more choices, but it’s still device manufacturers pushing their own products.
Of course Apple should allow competition within their ecosystem, but Samsung and Google are basically doing the exact same thing.
Spending $30 to own a brand new movie that just came out is not something I have a problem with.
However, not being able to download a copy of the movie you purchased is where I take issue.
