The “wrong way” is the “right way” unless you feel like re-rolling the whole roll. God forbid you leave the lid up and they feed it to the toilet.

The problem is all politicians live in a top down economy. They see GDP and employment rates go up and think things are great. They don’t see the bottom up reality. Sure my wife and I are both employed but our pay is stagnant and our costs keep going up.

Granted Democrats seem to be trying to fix some of that but it’s slow going.

You do realize that T-Mobile bought Mint earlier this year.

I actually picked mine up on Swappa for $690. At that price it was very competitive against other flagships. It might even go down a bit with the new Mark 5 coming out soon.

Yes and no. It has coverage on multiple 4G and 5G frequencies.
Check the first link and see what frequency you need in your are and then check the second link to see if it is covered. Where I am and where I mostly travel I need 5G band 71 and it picks it up beautifully.

I might be a bit biased but I went for a Sony Xperia 1 Mark 4. Yes it is last years model but the performance is supurb. For me it was down to form factor. I tend to dislike curved or waterfall screens and Sony has stuck to truly flat screens. The second sticking point was expandable storage. Sony still has an SD card slot. I have 1.5TB of combined storage. The addition of an actual headphone jack and mechanical zoom lens were just icing on the cake.
