The revolution was spurred on by the Stamp Act which required a tax on everything from tea to playing cards. Not only was it a lack of representation but the whole situation that the colonies were expected to be part of England but weren't treated like it. Now in the Crown's defense England was spending a lot on defending the colonies but they still should've given them a seat in parliament. If they had done that we might still be part of the UK or ended up like Canada (taking longer to leave).

Good point on the phone. I have a pc mainly because...
- I'm older and I'm just used to it
- I'm an enthusiast and do some programming, specialized apps, etc that don't and won't work on phones
- I do pc gaming
- I build my own systems
- I play with linux too
If I just did browser, messaging, mobile apps/games and calls I'd just have a phone.

I wish tools like ad-block would allow everything to download in the background but just block things like ads from rendering. That would prevent ad block detectors from knowing they are being blocked,

CA should be split into two.
But this time there would be no ocean between the two sides.
The Taliban have to justify their existence by doing something, like a new manager that makes everyone move their offices. They aren't doing anything of substance to improve the lot of their people so they do dumb shit like this.

They happily gloss over the cost of running a successful society. First responders, public schools, roads, utilities, public works, etc all cost money. They can spend $$ on all of those with profiteering on top of them by privatizing everything. We already see how this has worked out for healthcare and elder care.
