Wait until MAGA-fans will find out how tariffs work.
...oh yeah, that implies being able to do math.

That's true. Tariff will likely decrease the demand of some products that have an elastic demand. The result will be that Americans will pay 15% more for all the products, for some they will buy alternatives (where they exists) or less, and Europe will need to increase the market in the rest of the world for the share of products that cannot be sold anymore. In the short term it will likely hurt Europe too, but in the long term the impact will be basically only on the US.
Rationally, the EU agreed to buy stuff that would have bought anyway and the US decided to self impose taxes raising its internal prices.
But yeah, politically it sucks.
Funny thing: probably it sucks for Americans too.
Maybe now they have a chance to demonstrate that these filters don't work.
Plus: shady managing of the network connections that could lead to mass surveillance, poor E2E encryption, and now a partnership with Musk.
Just the regular browser. It just works.
Google Drive alternatives that actually work well?
This is a big pain point of the iPhone. You can use Proton or other providers, but you will be stuck with iCloud for your backups.
The issue with the iPhone is that you need to trust Apple. They have a decent reputation (obviously someone will immediately say "nooo, it's baaad!!1"), and it has a good trade-off security/usability, but it's just like a top quality over-the-counter medicine. If you want the real stuff, there will be side effects (on features).
Shouldn't it be the opposite: the lower, the less identifiable?
1 in 1 means that everyone has the same, 1 in 2 means that you are the same as 50% of the population, 1 in 1.000.000 means being pretty much unique.
Always keep in mind that Tor makes you uniquely identifiable if you are the only one using it on a particular website.
Indeed the Republicans should not have supported such an individual, nor people should have voted for him, but it's a quite different story.
Except that even if you buy 100% American products, those selling them may not. When inflation happens, it happens for everyone.
Unless of course you talk about the perfect MAGA in a self-sufficient farm in the middle of nowhere, with a tinfoil hat and a cork in his ass against alien probes.
