Apple supports their phones for at least 5 years. iPhone XS from 2018 is still supported by the current version of iOS. As iOS 26 just came out, that means 8 years of software support.

The Nazis and Italian fascists made sure to spend on social programs and worker benefits to keep support from the population.
Trumpism does the opposite. Which will be their downfall. Can’t stay in power on hate and culture wars alone.
one that is not subservient to capitalist market forces
There's always a market with market forces.
If the legal market is completely state controlled, then the black market is still around. Corruption, bribes, and political connections then become the price to pay to even get a place to live at all.
I grew up in a socialist country with super low rent and the state owning everything. The rent was ridiculously cheap, but the housing quality was terrible. The state didn't pay for upkeep and buildings just rotted. Sure there was also new construction of commie blocks. Good luck getting one of those apartments! Also you couldn't even move to a different city without getting a state permit first. My parents had to bribe the state official with hard currency in addition to changing career, and using political favors to get an actual decent place.
rub
scrub
Exactly. Of course I can make myself wet slather some soap on my body. That's not washing, though. Washing means to scrub until squeaky clean. I have observed people go in the shower stinky and come out only slightly stinky. Why?
Then there's things like remove hard skin from the feet, cut nails, shave.
Use a fascial scrub on the face.
After the shower applying facial cream and body lotion also takes a little time.
Finally: collect hair from drain, dry off water that sploshed around

More migration comes either way, if you control rents or not.
Well adjusted healthy people living a happy life don’t waste their time arguing in comment sections.
Rent freezes are ineffective over here in Europe as well. They don’t create more housing, sometimes the opposite. There are lots of unintended side effects like having to pay bribes to get a contract at all.
There are several meta studies and studies on this, you can look up.
Rent freezes are only good for those who already have an affordable housing. It doesn’t solve the systematic issue the slightest.
He said Starship would go to orbit by 2019.

The Nazis didn’t go through with their more radical socialist demands like land reforms. They also crushed the unions.
Huge state run job programs practically meant everybody had a job. There were rent freezes, expansions of health insurance, work accident insurance, cheap credit for newlyweds, etc. were expanded continuously. Kraft durch Freude allowed ordinary people to travel and go on holiday for the first time. Youth organizations were compulsory and offered a lot of learning, social activities, outdoor camping, hikes, music education and such.
The primary goal of the Nazis was a war of expansion. Their ideology only cares for the nation, not the individual. Industry leaders and all aspects of life had to follow the same ideology and who didn’t follow was crushed. Everyone is expected to sacrifice everything and dedicate their life to the leader, party, state.
Trumpism cares about making the rich richer, holding on to power, and some racist WASP supremacy one the side. Keeping their voter base happy or protecting them in materialist ways is not there.
