They need to pay the ISP for hosting and maintaining it.

I avoid voluntary surgery of all kinds.

As a regular end user, I would really prefer my data to be in the hands of a foreign govt than my own govt. The foreign govt doesn't really have any power over me & can't do much with my data.

They started getting free landlines under Reagan in the 80s - google Lifeline Assistance program. Cellphones were added to it under Clinton.

in 1964, the min wage was 1:15. You could actually live off that with a one income family.

Because back then, you didn't require a big screen TV in every room, had only one phone whose monthly bill was probably 10% of total monthly bill of a family of 4 with 4 phones paying 75$ per phone, no computer, no broadband bill, no 100$ cable television bill, no expensive vacations etc.

Min wage has not kept up with the real cost of basic needs. like housing, transportation, entertainment, food, cloths.

Also, our needs have increased.

Why does anyone use Chrome over Chromium? I have only used Chromium - so is there anything better in Chrome as compared to Chromium. I use Chromium because Chrome installs services on my machine. I don't see why a browser needs services running in the background.
