Language nerd footnote: President Trump’s exaggerated pronunciation of China as “CHAI-na” may be a deliberate homonym for the Han words meaning ”take it down” (similar to Bush Sr. deliberately calling Saddam “SAD-um” which was an insulting Arabic term for a camel herder).
拆 哪 (Pinyin “CHAI na”) = “Take (it) down”)
2021 marks the first year since 1985, that I recommend AGAINST buying ANY Apple Products or services. Since joining the "Woke" Tech crowd, and their advocacy of warrantless searches of personal customer information, Apple Inc. has lost its way.
In their arrogance they have turned their backs on their founding ideals and betrayed all of us who have supported them over the years. As their code base continued to unravel post-Jobs, their claim of defending personal liberty was the one good thing they had left.
Betrayal of trust will their enduring legacy.
