Governments love to splurge tax dollars on crApple products
A local school system here used the local rag newspaper to push propaganda to fund MILLIONS of dollars for apple iPads which they claimed were going to magically make the students all smarter. After spending MILLIONS of local tax dollars to buy iPads for the students, a large number of the devices went missing or were damaged, the rest became quickly outdated by technological innovation, and the standardized test scores for reading and writing among all the students with access to iPads actually DROPPED, meaning the iPads that weren't stolen made the kids dumber.
It makes you wonder if all these government officials don't have large holdings of shares of apple stock and just launder tax dollars to boost the revenue per share of their corporate Apple stock holdings. They don't fairly offer competitors a chance at the government procurement contracts. Only apple gets to sell governments all their iphones and ipads and tech. Why not a samsung or a cheaper chinese knockoff? You could are security but crApple is proprietary and no one knows what they buried in their code.
