I hate mine. Got the glitch that ruins the camera and the only way to fix it is to send it off for a few weeks. Happened after only having the phone about 10 months. Can’t go that long without my phone so I’m just dealing with it by only taking wide angle photos, but it’s a real bummer. I usually keep a phone for at least 3 years but I’ll be ditching this around July after less than 2. I love their computers but I’ll never buy a phone from them again.

I feel like this is the kind of thing everyone overlooks in these kinds of scenarios. Thousands of people are going to be working on the problem. Okay, all our current electronics are fried, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make new ones. All our power plants and water treatment facilities suddenly don’t work… Well, people still have jobs at those places so someone is going to try to fix it. And I think most people sort of know and understand that, at least over the short term. Society doesn’t fall apart after every disaster.

And if it did, you’re probably wrong about how you’d respond or you’re not being creative and therefore are doing what everyone else will do and the resources will dry up and you won’t be one of the lucky few that makes it.

The EFF is really just about one topic though (privacy on the Internet, for those of you unfamiliar with their work). I’m sure some other orgs have their own topics they have written model legislation for. ALEC writes for everything on the GOP agenda, and I think that’s what OP was getting at - a universal writer. But I don’t think there is one. Perhaps because the Left is very broad in it approaches to stuff, comparatively? So it’s harder to nail down the language everyone would agree on? Or maybe it’s ideological from the Dem party, that they don’t want that kind of centralized writer for issues that have nuance. No clue, this is a really interesting question from OP.

This is one of the best reads I’ve had in a while! Free download everyone, be sure to check it out. Especially people with depression or executive dysfunction that makes it hard to feed yourself.

I am a firm believer in always returning your shopping cart to either the inside of the store or a corral. I dumped a guy over not doing it once 😂

Are you me? Same religious/spiritual journey here. I tell people now I’m an atheist that practices paganism, because religion is something you do, not something you are.

I think one of the coolest things about human experience is that we all come up with stories that answer the same questions, just slightly differently. It’s because being human leads you to want answers to the same questions regardless of time or space. Why am I here? Why do bad things happen? What comes next?
