> You're clearly not paying attention.

You clearly just want to have a convenient source for your frustration and show no interest in actually solving the problem permanently.

> Which checks?

Congress. They pass laws. The administration is bound, by the constitution, to follow those laws and to administrate them with "due care."

> The supreme Court OKed stopping people because they were brown ("Kavanaugh stops") and Congress has lost the power of the purse

What does this have to do with tax law?

You can't possibly be serious right now. This administration has done nothing but skirt every law at every level. Look around.

> It is the goal of every business to maximise profits. As a business, it is your responsibility to price your products in a way that will yield the most profit.

This is how the article starts, and it might be somewhat off-topic, but I disagree. Plenty of businesses (at least privately held ones) have the goal of simply making enough for the owners to get by. Not to optimize for the absolute maximum. And why should they be responsible to do so?

In short, the leadership team has a fiduciary responsibility to their investors. Privately held lifestyle businesses don't, at least not as much.

And yet not a single doctor in the United States will permit you to care about early signals, preventative medicine, or routine deep dive bloodwork, in order to stave off those diseases. Anyone who's on top of this is paying fully out of pocket for individual tests, screenings, medicines. Manageable for some, unattainable for most.

I've been looking to replace Superhuman recently. None of their AI or Team features matter to me. I just wanted what they originally set out to build -- a super fast, keyboard driven, desktop email client. There are daily paper cut bugs and search issues that have persisted for many years, and I'm not going to stick around through this transition which will surely make the product worse.

What do folks like for desktop email that's keyboard driven? At this point I almost want to go back to Pine ;)

After a day of trialing many apps, briefly settling on Gmail (iOS, and Unite to make a desktop app), I'm pretty happy with Spark for MacOS and iOS.

Mimestream on Mac implements GMail's keyboard shortcuts so there was no learning curve for me and I'm able to enjoy a desktop app experience.

This does seem pretty seamless to swap to, thanks!

Now to figure out iOS ;)
