Apart from the shady practice of not getting authorization for the repair costs, why does it cost MORE to repair your product than it does to buy a new one?

You’re promoting a huge amount of waste and environmental damage by just having us buy new products. #apple

[Laurel @LaurelPortner]

@AppleSupport Can you explain why it cost nearly $150 to repair one broken 2nd Gen Airpod when I can buy a brand new set for $99?

Not only that, I was told the $150 was JUST a CC hold. I never received ANY info about actual cost and did not authorize the repair. Who would?!

The bad takes on “who the Trump rioters are” ignore the fact that most poor and working class people can’t even afford to take off work when their kids are sick, let alone load up on Trump merch and body armor, travel across the country, and spend all day playing fascist putsch

For those of you saying “not all cops”... even one bad apple can spoil the bunch.

See now we can track how police misconduct spreads. And officers in close proximity to officers who have records of misconduct end up being 4x more likely to use force & 5x more likely to shoot someone. We can *contact trace* police violence like a virus. https://t.co/BzpnDkzFi2

Is this what they meant by making America great again?

I’m listening to Trump talk about establishing order as forces in front of me fire tear gas and rubber bullets on protesters. It is utterly surreal.

[Kim Kelly @GrimKim]

The President of the United States has officially declared those who oppose fascism to be the enemy.

I gotta be honest the worst looting I've ever seen take place happened a few weeks ago when corporations collected over 500 billion dollars in stimulus money while everyone else was left with a $1200 dollar check and having to decide if they pay for food or rent..

Some of us don’t have bandannas as an option.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities.

Why? Because the chronic toll of redlining, environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions.

Inequality is a comorbidity. COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations.

Things Covid has proven:

1. The job you were told couldn't be done remotely can be done remotely

2. Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didnt want them to.

3. Internet is a utility, not a luxury

4. Universal healthcare is necessary

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

There are now good reasons to believe that the coronavirus will hit America especially hard, even though it originated in China. Why? Because it plays into multiple pre-existing weaknesses 1/
