The US commissaries are subsidized and provide a mandatory ~23% savings on prices over retail stores.

NYC could totally do the same thing if they wanted.

More Perfect Union has a breakdown on this, it's pretty good/ informative.

    Yeah. That's a good point. I don't know why anyone would put any frequently updated app in squashfs.

    I guess you can use the app right after you factory reset even if you don't have much data which might be something? Are updates smaller since they're just deltas?

    We should put TotallynitJessica in the campaign! Reminds me of this quote.

    "Some party hack decreed that the people had lost the government's confidence and could only regain it with redoubled effort. If that is the case, would it not be be simpler, If the government simply dissolved the people And elected another?" -- Bertolt Brecht
