I really doubt that you want to do the latter.
Why would they? They're out to make money and they'll make much less money by making enemies with the CCP.
We can also look at history: American companies have no problem doing business with authoritarian and repressive regimes. Sometimes they even prop them up.
I've used $40 Android phones, and they're barely usable with modern apps.
Once the battery starts to degrade, which happens quickly, performance drops from barely usable to intermittently usable, with frequent freezing and reboots.
Looking at Sprint.com, iPhones are available for $18 a month.
Do you own a laptop or a workstation?
Given that both our politicians and corporations are content with helping China cover this up at best, or are complicit in identification and imprisonment of the Uyghurs at worst, I don't know.
Perhaps if China invaded Taiwan or enabled NK in an attack on South Korea, it would wake Western interests up.
> Many anti-mask laws date back to the mid-20th century when states and municipalities, passed them to stop the violent activities of the Ku Klux Klan, whose members typically wore hoods of white linen to conceal their identities.

Either way, it's more dangerous to be a pizza delivery boy than it is to be a cop.
Again, the article lays this out concretely:
> Because rentable electric scooters are so new, federal and local officials haven't started tracking accidents, and the companies have declined to release any stats. But some numbers are beginning to appear.
Then, they list the concrete numbers they do know.
Stats on accidental deaths from falling or stumbling put it nearly on par with accidental automobile deaths.
> How many? And why are you hedging with "may?"
That's a quote from a doctor about specific cases that went through a specific hospital he works at. That's why.
I've posted the full quote below, for context. Ironically, the journalist went through the effort of giving some very concrete numbers:
> Doctors in Dell Seton's emergency room say they're seeing about 10 injuries a day.
> "The vast majority end up getting discharged with cuts and scrapes, maybe a broken bone," said Ziebell. "But some injuries are significant."
> The hospital has seen 37 severe traumas since April: eight head injuries, 23 orthopedic injuries, four facial injuries and two "other" injuries. In October alone, doctors say 18 people were admitted to either the intensive care unit or surgeries with overnight hospital stays.
> "The folks that had severe head injuries, they're in for a long course of rehab," Ziebell said. "Some people may need lifelong care, like a nursing home."
This just gives everyone involved further incentive to ensure that negligence or malfeasance get covered up.
What about criminals? What about someone who is high, drunk or coming down off of something? What about someone who is mentally ill?
They aren't: conviction rates are high and crime rates are at record lows.
I'm of the opinion that it's better for a criminal to walk free than for an innocent person to be punished or killed for something they have nothing to do with.
Stray bullets don't care about the shooter's intentions.
That means that there is little incentive to stop people who are paid by entities that have vested interest in manipulating Google Maps information.
If that means bringing trauma to the forefront of your mind in order to get a dopamine hit, so be it.
They often include a waiver that allows them to share your PHI with whomever they want.
You're under no obligation to allow them to do so.
A diet with a healthy amount of carbs from fruit, vegetables and grains may never trigger T2 diabetes in a healthy person.
That same diet could kill someone with T2 diabetes who isn't managing their condition with medication.
Diet does not reverse changes in the pancreas that cause T2 diabetes.
