I applaud where you’re mind is at but I don’t agree.

Unless Becca Good has some relevant experience or background in public office it’s just politicking by name recognition. Not really any different than when Darlene Graham was appointed by Republicans.

Let’s get someone capable of participating in this new majority to really work and get things done. 2 years is not a lot of time and the Democrats need to work on a lot of progress by then.

    I get that. I was weighing the Keyphone, Sidephone and Clicks Communicator. I’d have maybe gone with the Clicks but I waited too long and the price jumped up quite a bit.

    I liked the Sidephone but the battery was smaller and non-replaceable, no headphone jack and no eSIM.

    For me, since I was craving the phone style of my youth, the Keyphone was the clear winner but it’s just nice to see these alternative phone types in the market.

    It’s not for everyone but I’ve switched to a Keyphone Hybrid. It has a removable battery, headphone jack, physical keyboard and de-googled OS.

    It’s a “dumb phone” but they’re continuing to develop for it and are responsive to feedback. I love it because it’s the size of an iPhone Mini and it does what I need it to do without the distractions.

    I have my old smartphone still that I use around the house or on WiFi similar to how many use a full size tablet.

    Glad about the results but I hate that they keep saying they “seized” power.

    Democrats didn’t “seize” anything, they were granted power by the majority of Texans. Now the Democrats in Texas and across the US need to use that power to serve their constituents.

    Might also be an attempt to keep their Search numbers up. I saw an article recently that AI is hurting Google Search because of the lack of click through due to AI summaries.

    By packaging them together they get to boost both options through a semi-captive audience.

    It’s all theater and distraction. Coconut milk has been around an awful long time with no issue. Same with milk of magnesia.

    The dairy industry only started caring when the term milk started getting used for viable alternatives to dairy milk. Industrial lobbying is all about protecting market share and that’s it.
