Should be update version 1.2 that removes the blood sugar monitoring once everyone in the US gets tired of it pinging after every soft drink.

Apple would upcharge for it, and make the battery life lower in software so you didnt buy it over their flagship.

Hmm.. might be for me, I absolutely despise trying to type an email on a phone screen. Using my wife's 2nd gen kindle back when we got stuck in Tokyo with a non-activated Verizon rental phone wasnt too bad.

Most do, but there is a limit to what you can provide. A business has to make money off of the activity of the people there. If the take is more than the give, you need to find someone with less take.
that's the point being made here, that employers would look at any woman under retirement age as someone who is going to be taking paid leave 3-12 days a month. To which you can extrapolate that situation further. If someone is taking that leave, monthly, for the maximum allotted time, and its believed to be not in good faith (milking the system) , how does it get addressed without crossing medical information and privacy laws / norms?

Singer sewing machines made M1 rifles and 1911 pistols, and even IBM made M1s in WWII. GM did liberator stampings.
Heck, Packard built the merlin engines for the P51 Mustangs, and did it better than Rolls Royce after they standardised all the drawings and parts.
Sherman tanks had Chrysler engines. Basically, if your company had equipment and workers, the war department would tell you what you were needed and allowed to make.

Daisy (the "you'll shoot your eye out kid" pellet gun company) made a few firearms as well. IIRC, both a 22 pistol and a 22 rifle, of which the magazines for the latter are harder to find than the rifles.

I've known a few caseworkers, some of them are just frustrated because they know the system isn't worth it and they spent a small fortune to get a government job that pays crap, and there's just some of them that are there just to get the paycheck and they don't care.
