Last night, and even today, I’ve been scrolling through the news on PBS. They aren't mentioning it at all—at least not in the headlines—that Steve Jobs has passed away. Meanwhile, NBC and FOX were all over it. Instead, those channels are filled with nothing but every possible piece of nonsense from our political world.

Are we really such a shallow society that we prioritize every trivial thing Hillary blabs about over the fact that the world's greatest innovator is gone? Sure, most of us can't afford his products (we settle for their successors, which includes the computer we're using right now), but our political elite and the rest of the "upper crust" just love to pose with them. Yet, his creator clearly isn't worth a single mention to them.

So, Steve, R. I. P., and may Hillary and everyone just like her disappear forever!

it’s honestly wild how many people probably went out and took out loans or signed up for those crazy impossible subscription plans just to get their hands on his gear...☕

I guess the U.S. owes him at least a spot as the top headline on the nightly news or something

I honestly couldn't care less about Kamala Harris or the late Steve Poslić...

That’s not even his real name. It's what the foster parents call him. His dad's Syrian and his mom is from Chicago. As for the old man, he’s pulling shifts at a casino right now.

The whole Jaca thing is just nonsense. She doesn't matter one bit.

I would much prefer to see Steve Jobs leading the United States while Kamala Harris ran Apple.

R. I. P. to the man, truly. But there are a million other things that should be taking priority right now... like how an entire grade level is basically bullying one little girl just because she doesn't have an iPhone.☕

What did Apple ever do to you? Why the hate? 🤷

Poor Apple, sitting on a $350 billion valuation... Steve was a total jerk, but man, did he have vision. Talk about capitalism!

A total jerk? Maybe, because he pushed his employees to pull 90-hour weeks? Perhaps, but at least a lot of people and their families can actually make a living from that company today.
Compare that to our local oligarchs. They push people to their absolute breaking point just for $1000 or less, embezzle funds, and then run the whole company straight into bankruptcy. Everything they ever achieve in life is just finding new ways to steal money and dodge taxes...

Steve was a genius—one of the most capable people we've ever seen. Let's be real: if it weren't for him, you wouldn't even have a platform to whine on right now. Personally, his death felt a bit too "quiet" to me.🤷

Kamala Harris, on the other hand, is absolute trash—completely incompetent and has no idea how she even ended up in power.

Steve represents a country living in the future, while Kamala's idol is the Financial Times—basically someone stuck in the 17th century...

Steve was a tech guy—he dealt in scientific facts. Kamala's crowd lives without any sense of cause and effect; everything just happens by "divine will" for them. If things go south—like the economy or national spending—they claim they had no idea...

Steve Jobs paid for his own mistakes—but Kamala's party leaves, and the debt stays behind.

It is simply a matter of perspective. My intentions aren't aimed at harming Apple; rather, I want what is best for the USA.

We only have ourselves to blame for failing to pull a winning hand when we had the chance.

Regarding Jaca, I really thought that even the harshest critics of the Republican Party (or any administration, really) might draw some parallels, such as:

1. People tend to hold them responsible for things they didn't even do.
2. They focus entirely on optics rather than actual substance.
3. They gatekeep information from the public.
4. They are totally out of sync with global trends.
5. They get ousted, only to come crawling back later.😁

I wouldn't count on it. If they did, they'd probably start acting like Nobel Prize contenders.😍

The FT has finally broken ties with America. Unfortunately, they haven't broken with communism. Kamala Harris can't seem to break ties with anything at all.
But what we really ought to be questioning is why our own version of a Steve Jobs can't succeed here. The issue lies within our social structure, which remains fundamentally outdated—a sort of half-reformed socialism. We are dealing with a massive layer of parasitic bureaucracy, various "activists" and self-proclaimed fighters, and the cleanest money in this system is the kind that is evaded, embezzled, or simply stolen.

If Jobs had been born in America, he’d probably be out there selling smoke for the Republican Party.
If Jaca had been born in the USA, she’d likely be peddling the same nonsense as a spokesperson for Apple.

Steve Jobs isn't exactly popping up every day—if that were actually the case in the USA, everyone would be dropping dead with ten billion dollars in their bank accounts. We have talented people here, sure—but I highly doubt we'll ever see someone quite that capable or successful.

Look, it’s easier to make it in the USA—that's just reality—but someone who’s actually that talented would find a way to win anywhere they were born.

If Jadranka had been born in the USA, she’d be scrubbing floors at McDonald's—honestly, that's the only place her "talents" would actually land her a job. ☕

You clearly don't know anything about the USA... Kamala Harris would either be some Apple spokesperson—basically a mouthpiece with zero actual substance, just like the former PM here—or she'd be living on the streets. She definitely doesn't have the work ethic to grind for minimum wage at McDonald's. ☕
