    Won’t be long until you are legally the ownership of evilcorp; a slave whose only purpose is to produce enough shareholder value to survive the next 24 hours.

      I know we hit rock bottom when Walmart is advertising loans for groceries. Whole lot of people need to take a moment and think about what’s going on.

      Rate things are going China will have UBI in 5 years.

      Love the Mr Robot reference (hopefully).

      It’s no different than you subsidizing the costs through the carrier, the only difference is Apple will likely earn interest whereas carriers do this at basically 0%. Or Apple is going for vendor lock in. Right now you can “switch phone companies” and they advertise paying off balances up to a certain amount to entice the switch. Apple may not allow that.
