If the govt built the iPhone it would be the size of a suitcase, and not carry-on size either because some airline lobbyist would insert a line in the authorizing legislation to boost his industry’s revenue.

The Feds attack Apple trying to overturn lawsuit with Samsung.
Now Pelosi attacks the biggest company in the USA located 60 miles from her district.
Something is happening...
I’m wondering if this might have something to do with Intel supporting Trump.

If the government created a cell phone:- It would only be available in one color
- It would not work on any holiday
- It would have a non-intuitive and very complicated user interface

5. There would be a cabinet level Department of Mobile Communications with a Secretary of Mobile Communications, Assistant Secretary of Mobile Communications, etc, etc, etc
6. It would use the cheapest components, purchased at inflated prices from whoever donated the most to the President's election campaign

If the feds had built the iPhone, encryption problems wouldnt be an issue.
To: reg45
7. It would take a staff of logistics personnel to keep it running.

She says that about a California company. She’s got her millions so she doesn’t care what anyone thinks.

If the government built it, it would be like the CCCP-1 “Mini-Cam” shown on SCTV.

Government builds nothing. It is composed of a worthless group of paper pushers and some service staff with mixed capabilities. Private business builds everything.

Robert Laurie (the author of the article which you brought here) notes;
"... The mind that thinks this way is truly scary. Basically, theyre arguing that anything thats ever been built, sold, and bought - if it references or integrates even the tiniest sliver of federal-funded research - is a product of the all-powerful state. ..."
I agree.
What I'm having trouble coming to grips with is;
How can anyone in their right mind keep voting for Democrat party candidates? Isn't Pelosi one of their top 'minds'? Politically speaking...
