Mostly because all of those streaming apps are an absolutely horrendous experience, and many of them aren't supported on Linux.

They just show you the same shit over and over. They're filled with ads, even if you pay, and cram a bunch of other subscriptions down your throat every time you open them.

Installing Signal in a profile without sandboxed Google Play and granting the power optimization exception it requests is enough to destroy battery life and end up worse than the stock Pixel OS. The power efficient choices are either using Molly with UnifiedPush (Signal fork) or Signal with FCM.

While its great that Molly supports this, its extremely disappointing that Signal themselves do not support UP. Or really a hundred different FOSS apps that half-ass the "free" part.

They enjoy many many protections that don't exist in China. Denying this is just ignorant. Its how China became a superpower. Its why the US offshored all of their production to a country on the other side of the planet.

The Chinese can open a factory in the US anytime, but they won't because its too expensive, and undermines the CCP's goal of dominating emerging markets.

That's not a problem with taxes that's a problem with management.

What tangible difference does that make? The two are inseparable.

No tax is objectively fucking stupid

I agree, and wasn't suggesting such a thing. But when the govt taxes the same money 5 fucking different ways, and use it to perpetrate crimes against humanity, all while the ultra rich pay none of it, it gets real fucking aggravating, and I want to pay as little of it as humanly possible. The 1% could pay the other 99% taxes for them and experience no change in lifestyle at all.
